Torso of Christ | Resting
Graphite, charcoal, and chalk
Resting is a series of three pieces created with chalk on mat board that is inspired by the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. Christ suffered and died that we as sons and daughters may rest in him. His wounds are made perfect in the innocent sacrifice he gave of himself and the perfection that was Him. The series is also inspired by Holy Matrimony. That separate, man and women are called to rest and purify their wounds in Christ Jesus's in their life journeys. When man and women are brought together through Christs divine love and providence they are called to rest in Christ who draws them closer together. There is no love or the perfect healing of ones wounds without Christ. May we rest all of our suffering and love in the Lord who just wants us to dwell in Him as He dwells in us. May the love of the Lord allow others to love us how we deserve to be loved, which is fully and unceasingly.
