I’ve always been drawn to bold imagery. Lately my art has started to lean in this
direction, and this is a direct product of that interest. Religion will bring up feelings regardless of
the viewers opinion, so I chose the image of the crucified Jesus as my image
for the piece, with the caption; “This is a sign”. The sign is up for interpretation and the
viewer can take away what they want. When
making this piece I was strongly influenced by René Magritte’s “
The Treachery of Images” which is the famous painting of a pipe
with the caption that reads “This is not a pipe”. This piece was not created to offend
anyone. It is located in the ally in front of Wardens right across the street from Jimmy John's by the dumpsters.
