The Crucifixion

(ceramics on stone)
14” x 8″ x 7″

Violent killing is ugly, a crucifixion particularly so. The death of a man on a cross is no less disturbing. Christians speak of the image of Jesus on a cross as a manifestation of God’s love. Jews are offended by the image, particularly when blamed for all manner of evil by Christians.This sculpture is an alternative portrayal of the crucifixion. It is about love. A sad head of the man Jesus rests on a rock bonded to the good and bad thieves, images of us all.
