Light Series
This series of pieces were inspired by the first chapter of John in the Bible. This chapter speaks of the incarnation of Jesus as the Light of the World. I wanted to explore the interaction of darkness and light through this series in a raw, abstract form to limit the distractions of naturalistic imagery. I feel that this was fitting for portraying “God with us”.
This time of year all the gaudy, flashy pomp is everywhere, and it can be really distracting from what Christmas is supposed to be about. When we take the Christmas story and boil it down to its simplest form, it is light coming into darkness. Light came into the world to save the world; Jesus came to save us.

I. The Light Shineth in the Darkness
II. The darkness comprehendeth not.
