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."
