Study: Vessels: Salt (2008)

this piece is part of a new series i am working on in conjunction with the "light" series from the same section in matthew. for a long time i was never really sure what "you are the salt of the earth" [matthew 5:13] meant. and i'd be egotistical to say that i understand it all now, but I am slowly starting to understand. this series, along with the light series, are to explore the implications of these two important "you are" statements that Jesus makes about His people.

this piece was also accepted to be shown at the 2008 CCDA conference in miami (october 22-26) as part of a show surrounding the conference theme of "shalom." it will be displayed with the works of many other artists from around the country (and maybe even the continent!)
