Chasuble for Pentecost, designed by Brody Neuenschwander-WN5007

After the succesful collaboration for our home linens collection,  we asked the American text artist Brody Neuenschwander to create a series of chasubles. This series reflects his calligraphic style which explores the boundaries between text and image.  These vestments are digital prints, a state-of-the-art technique that Slabbinck introduces in liturgical vestments. 

Length 53", Width 59", Neck-Plain, with inside stole.

Brody Neuenschwander comments on this chasuble:

"This red chasuble incorporates many references to the Feast of Pentecost. In the background is a detail of the Pentecost mosaic from San Marco in Venice. The center of the mosaic is placed over the heart of the priest and carries the dove, from which radiate twelve rays symbolizing the apostles. At the edge of the garment one can see the arches of the cupola’s windows. These frame the chasuble and echo the monumental capital letters that hover in the background. In the foreground is a bold calligraphy in golden yellow. The text is the "Veni Creator Spiritus", sung in the Pentecost liturgy. At the very center of the design is the word Creator, emphasizing Pentecost as the feast of the creation of the Church and the celebrant as the representative of God’s creative presence in the world."
