The front door of the Convent

The front door of the Good Shepherd Convent, where the nuns first brought the young girls into the Institute, still stands present at the front of the college today. One thing that I noticed that was present in many of the stories from the survivors, was that the image of the red front door stood out very clearly in their memory.

I decided to silkscreen this image of the oppressive front door in a 3 color silkscreen - using a light yellow for the color of the college walls and a dominating, harsh red for the front door. I then screened the door in a black bitmap on top. This is still a work in progress. I am currently trying to get my hands on a transparent varnish that can be silkscreened with. I want to screen biblical quotes that combine both doors and quotes.

"For a wide door for effective work has opened to me.." 1 Corinthians 16:9
