“The Forever Relationship”

This body of work is mixed media collage art on 30”x48” canvas that I created in response to the big pause, the pandemic that is on the earth.

My business shut down and I began questioning of “What am I going to do?” “This is crazy I can’t shut down my business ?” All the what if’s, that were way to big for me at that moment. The whole world was being shaken and turned around, the magnitude of what was happening in the world was overwhelming. The fear and uncertainty washed over me and at that point I had to make a choice.. and I chose my Faith over my fear. I knew the work was going to be about The Cross.

What an Inspiring time to fall apart, grow through what was before me and be built back up. 7 weeks of painting and 3 months total of creating something beautiful with God.

This is the beginning of my story of - The Cross - 7 Crosses - 7 Weeks.

“The Forever Relationship” - is expression of the truth that God is the one relationship that is forever and always through his Son, Christ Jesus.

Elements

Circle: cycles of life, completion.
Cross: a promise...the fluid white texture represents the river of life.
Feathers: protection.
Feathers: are made from bible pages on the base - foundation of truth.

The colored feathers represent us all as individuals and that God loves every single person that is created on this earth, and there is a forever relationship for each one of us.

In the next seven weeks I will be blogging more about each Cross and at the end will post a video of what the work of creating Crosses has meant to me.

Big loving thank you to my partner, Danforth Rogers for supporting and being a kind giving gently soul. Love you sweet man.
