Hasta El'Amor Siempre
(Always To Love Forever)
Mixed media
When we speak of seeking and serving Christ in all persons and loving
our neighbor as ourselves, this can sound like a safe ideal. But to
really live into this is revolutionary. The status quo runs counter to
seeking and serving all, no matter who they are. This piece clearly
owes a debt to the iconic image of Che Guevera and a Church of England
ad which created a version of that image with Jesus as the subject. I
cut my own stencil to create a graffiti to paint over layers of
scripture, liturgy and words about Jesus. We do not want to get so
lost in words about Jesus that we no longer follow Jesus, but talk
about him. To truly follow Jesus means seeking and serving him in all
persons.
