Covered

This piece was from my senior thesis class in May and will be on display in October 24 at the C Gallery.


"Covered"
wax and mixed media
24 6" by 8" panels
May 2009

This series is stemmed from the intriguing and confusing phrase, “covered by the blood of Jesus.” I grew up in church and have never been able to fully wrap my head around this concept. I chose to explore the concept through the means of carefully choosing each person, covering them in red, and watching as each one becomes a new “being” or a new creature. Most of the time, the wax feels out the panel and I just watch it seek its place; I have almost no control in what path it will choose.
