Dimension: 30×26
Materials: 24k Gold Leaf, House Paint, Acrylic Paint, and Paint Pens on Canvas
These pieces are an artistic interpretation of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Each panel juxtaposes two subjects/images/icons and they tell a story in sequence from left to right; Nail -> Hand -> Thorns -> Lamb -> Blood -> Water.
- There is meaning and purpose with the choice of images and calling attention to the flaws with 24k gold leaf.
- This piece was abandoned for 10yrs, stored in my basement left to the elements (humidity) and literally decomposed the canvas and wood.
- This piece is the catalyst of “The Old Made New” series and weaves in the influence and practice of Kintsugi in a new way.

Bridge to the Past
This piece is an attempt to mend the past. Progress in life is difficult without addressing our past sins. The dominant emotion here is anger as evidence by the broken wood panel. That panel was then screwed together on plexiglass showing the utilitarian nature of our fixing. However, the gold leaf coating the edges of broken wood panel represent God, and His ability to make broken things beautiful and precious.
Redemption at the Table
Redeeming the past is possible. Going back, to go forward takes work. This #artWORK is a time capsule. 20years ago this #artWORK was a table that sat in the middle of my first apartment in San Francisco. The layers upon layers (Front and BACK!) of artists who collaborated to create a timeless imprint of themselves is captured, accentuated and preserved in a resin casing. There’s a balancing act happening, like a beautifully choreographed dance, of the past, present and future intermingle in harmony.
Man Hanged on a Tree
Taken from the ACTS 5:30 – The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
