It's interesting how God uses ashes to bring life. Earlier this year, a local resident approached me about a private commission. The prompt was that he wanted an black piece that when he looked at it, he felt nothing. As an artist, it was quite the undertaking. How do you create something and feel nothing?

As this 48"x72" encaustic evolved over the canvas, I kept going back to the following ideas:
- numb
- doubt
- anxiety
- lament
- not being able to see or questioning what the future looks like

I ended up being led to the curiosity of what the disciples might have felt when Jesus died. Jesus had said in parables and plainly that he would be delivered to be crucified, but imagine watching your best friend be harassed, abused, and violently tortured before being publicly executed in the most humiliating way possible for that time period. The Romans thought crucifixion was so embarrassing that they prohibited their own citizens from receiving such a sentence.
