Artist Statement: Eucharistic worship is simplified here in the visual. It represents a distortion of time and space where the one who presides, the wholeness of the host and the Challis call the viewer to participate. Eucharist stimulates our mind to recall the beauty in both being servant and served. In the sacrament we balance our human desire for wholeness and our love and appreciation for the divine. The number 12 is a hint of the final revelation were we become the priesthood of all having begun with twelve disciples. From the Gospel of Thomas, “On what day will the rest of the dead come into being? And on what day will the new world come? “ I believe Eucharist can take us where we can potentially come into our true divine self in Christ.
