“Broken Rules”
Rocks
play an important role in my artwork. They are of great importance
to many cultures in a variety of ways.
Christians believe that rock (stone) can be used both “dressed”
and “un-dressed”. That is, in its natural state or
cut and/or carved.
Stone
is a symbol of strength and stability of Christ and believers.
The Bible speaks of Peter as the rock upon which Christ will build
His church.
The
original subject matter for this drawing came from a collection
of rocks I photographed at Sisters Beach, a wonderful, small coastal
settlement in the northwest of Tasmania.
Some of the stones looked “tablet-like” and gave me
the idea of including parts of the carved numbers representing
the detailing of the Ten Commandments.
I feel that so much of our society has “strayed” from
the true interpretation of these God-given laws.
This artwork serves as a “conscience piece”.
