Vessels - 2008

this piece included a happy accident. it wasn't quite coming together as i wanted and i was mounting it to make sure the location was good, it wasn't and the day after i put it up to review, it pulled itself out of the wall and smashed into pieces. I was relieved though, it was one of those things where i didn't want to take it apart because it was almost done, but it really needed it, and i was able to put it back together better, and make it a stronger overall piece.
Vessels is based on [2 corinthians 4:7] which says,

[6]For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. [7]But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.

and [Matthew 5:14-16] which says,

[14]"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. [15] Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. [16]In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
