Infinity Aluminum Editions are images sublimated onto aluminum panels, creating a stunning, modern, and lightweight work of art. Infinity refers to the technique of displaying the edition panel unframed, therefore uncontained by a frame, just as with an infinity pool.

The sublimation process creates an edition that will not crack, peel or fade. Sublimation begins with a 1/16” aluminum panel coated with a clear polymer-based substrate. Through a heat print pressing process, the image, comprised of special sublimation inks, transforms to a gaseous state and infuses itself into the clear polymer substrate. The most significant result of this process is how light passes through the sublimation inks, now suspended within the polymer coating, and reflects off the aluminum sheet beneath, creating spectacularly rich colors.

This Widow’s Mite Infinity Edition is the same size as Christensen’s original painting and designed to be displayed either unframed or framed. A special hanging apparatus can be affixed to the rear of the panel for unframed “Infinity” display. Or, a distinctly contemporary frame suits the work as well. Both options are available for The Widow’s Mite

The Widow's Mite Story

The parable of the Widow’s Mite is not a story of money, but of piety. "It's about what we are willing to give of ourselves," said artist James Christensen of his best known painting.

Christensen’s The Widow’s Mite uses striking light and dark to symbolize spiritual and worldly power. The poor widow, who gave all she had, glows with an inner light. Even her ragged clothing is luminescent. By contrast, the rich men in their expensive robes fade into the shadows behind this woman's radiance.

An element that made this work so unique was Christensen’s choice to depict the widow as a young woman. It was the custom of the time for a widow to marry one of her husband’s brothers or return to her own family. If neither of these occurred, a woman had few options for supporting herself or her family. If a young woman remained alone, she would most likely be impoverished.

Michelangelo also influenced this choice. Upon completion of his work the Pieta, a sculpture of the crucified Jesus laying upon his mother’s lap, Michelangelo was criticized for his depiction of Mary. Though she was Christ’s mother, and therefore older, she appears younger than her son. His response was that virtue and goodness keep one beautiful. Christensen was intrigued by the idea that her righteousness could be revealed by her youth.

And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he also saw a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

Luke 21:1-4

Not for Destructive Dogs
Color: Blue
It might be okay for a little dog, but my heeler had it dismantled in short order and I threw it away. Cute toy, but not for a destructive dog.

Fantastic octopus
Color: Blue
This toy is everything for my 15 lb schnauzer. Tons of crinkles in each of 8 legs and squeezes easily at head. He has over 75 toys and is one of his top 5 toys now. Great size not too big. Dog see blue and yellow so a plus. Rest of colors to them are shades of black, greys and to white.

Cute and fun!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
This was exactly as described! The head has a squeaky and the legs crinkle. I have a small dog who does not destroy her toys so I think this will last a long time. So far—she loves it!!

My Yorkie’s new favorite toy
Color: Orange
This octopus toy was an instant hit with my Yorkie! The size is perfect for a small dog, and he loves carrying it around the house and tossing it in the air. I really appreciate that it has no stuffing, which means less mess if he gets a little too enthusiastic with his playtime. The material feels durable, and the toy has held up well to daily play. It’s soft enough for cuddling but sturdy enough for tugging and chewing. The squeakers keep him entertained and engaged, and he always gets excited when I bring it out. Overall, this is a fun, well-made toy that keeps my Yorkie happy and occupied. I would definitely buy it again.
