The Christ in Death statue after restoration on display at the Cathedral of St. Mary in Fargo, North Dakota. | Credit: New Earth/submitted photoMarilyn Loegering is no stranger to difficult projects. Her artistic talents have been put to work for years at the Cathedral of St Mary in Fargo, North Dakota, keeping the statues and artwork in the sanctuary looking their best. But even she was shocked at what she saw in late January this year.
“I felt sadness,” Loegering said. “Why would this ever happen? It was pretty much slammed to the floor so corners were damaged, the head was destroyed, the foot was destroyed, along with the canvas.” While Loegering restored the foot of the statue, the others set to the task of repairing the rest. Loegering said each brought a unique set of skills to the project. For example, Hanna and David Loegering are very good at airbrushing, and Loh knew through her chalk drawings how to mix different colours. There were exchanges of ideas, critiques of each other’s work, and skills learned from one another. In a sense, the project was a spiritual Lenten journey for the young artists.
