Hey John,
Sometimes it’s hard to see beyond the classical ideas of Christ. The Christ you were taught about as a child. When you picture Christ what does he look like? Is he a he?
In 2012 I drew my first Image of Christ. It was inspired by the theological idea that the Spirit of Christ is manifested in the reconciliation of all things - and people. I wanted to challenge the idea of the typical straight white male Jesus we see in traditional art. I wanted people to look at my drawings of Christ and see themselves. I wanted to provide healing. 18 images of Christ, 16 of which I’ve assembled into a Christ Collage print that you can see in my shop!
This one is “Let Them Eat Cake” which I drew when a bakery refused to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple. Cakes are meant to be shared like love is.
Let them eat cake, no matter who they love.
