Untitled; acrylic on 16x20 canvas, 2018. Revised an experimental piece for a submission to an art exhibition titled “Mourning and Hope: Lenten Expressions in Flushing” with King’s Cross Church of Flushing. The following description was displayed alongside the painting:
“Mourning,
is the endless wandering in pure darkness. It is a vast emptiness with neither sense of direction nor urgency of time. It is boulders on your shoulders and a perpetual dull pain in your chest. It is a thick, heavy blanket that you detest but have grown too comfortable cloaking yourself with. It is a lonesome state of being with the occasional company of self doubt and pity. Mourning, without Jesus, is mourning without context. It is anguish without Hope of reconciliation. It is a futile and meaningless struggle. It is trying but failing to find the light switch in a big room of pitch blackness.
The story of Christ, however, gives purpose to this human experience. In turbulent times, His grace is constant and steady, like the sun we know to be rising every morning, even on dim and cloudy days. His promise of restoration a ray of Hope penetrating our stormy hearts.”
