The Stations of the Cross Re-visualized

Trinity Episcopal Church - St. Louis, Missouri

 

Station 5
The Cross is Laid on Simon Cyrene

"I think of Simon willingly taking up the cross. Simon being from current-day Libya, I wanted to tie the piece to race relations. Thus, the use of black and white with shades of gray, as well as the large variety of stitches used. The colors show we come in different shades, are connected, and come together to share in the Passion. In God’s sight we are all the same."
