"Oh Jerusalem"
acrylic
3' by 4'
Oct 2009
A commissioned painting.
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.
