Jesus Falls for the Second Time

Mixed media oilgraph on canvas with blood
36"x36"

Jesus having grown weaker and weaker falls again. It takes every ounce of energy just to raise himself up. The soldier is unyielding in his violence to get him back on his feet. Simon is seen desperately trying to come to Jesus' aid, but cannot for the whip that seems to fill the air between them. It is my belief that no one could carry the cross along side Jesus without becoming transformed in the process.

We are asked to contemplate "How committed are you to your life's purpose? Do you know your life's purpose?"

Scriptural references are again implied.

so far to go...
impossible
and everywhere there is shouting

Simon?
Mother?
who is shouting?

dull thuds of sound in your ears
ribs open to the howling sky

I AM
on fire
I AM...

a thousand red wet eyes
stare up from the earth

it's raining...
what is raining?"
