STATION OF THE CROSS TWELVE Print

AVAILABLE FOR SALE ONLY IN PRINT FORMAT; THE ORIGINAL WORK ON CANVAS IS IN THE COLLECTION OF THE PHILADELPHIA EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL. This mixed media artwork is from a series of fourteen stretched canvases entitled, THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS. All of the originals are from The Permanent Collection at THE PHILADELPHIA EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL, which is located next to the campuses of Drexel University and The University of Pennsylvania (38th and Ludlow Streets, just north of Chestnut Street). These originals are not for sale, however prints of them are available through Saatchi On Line. The Dean of the Cathedral, The Rt. Rev. Judith Sullivan, and her clergy and staff sponsor a number of programs to help the local community; moreover, all of the artist’s proceeds from the sales of these prints will support the Episcopal Cathedral Weekly Food Bank, which helps to feed fifty local families. WHAT ARE THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS? These fourteen artworks act as Lenten meditation tools and depict scenes from Christ’s arrest through to his burial. They are executed as wall reliefs in plaster or wood, paintings, or sculptures. My STATIONS are assemblages executed on stretched, primed canvases. They incorporate many items including bones, seeds, rose stems, mammal skulls, and glazed sugar. No animals were harmed to obtain the bones, which were all found in nature. My works also include castings of objects that I created and photographic images I chanced upon on the streets or in trash dumpsters. I also used original photos taken by myself. I altered some of these images by hand or digital means. Station number TWELVE is entitled, CHRIST SURRENDERS HIS SPIRIT. This wall assemblage was executed in mixed media on stretched canvas. My materials for this work included thread, wood, primed canvas, glass, plastic, found objects, dry pastels, gold dust, mother of pearl, acrylic paint, acrylic gel, fixatives, and dried orchids. Christ dies. His spirit ascends into a golden light with two beams connecting him to the earth. His blood is made available to all through the wine of His Last Supper . . . the shadow of a bunch of grapes reaches down from heaven to elevate Him. The earth below the cross turns to electrical purple flowers. The universe glitters in a new, daring light.
