Resurrection


Back when I was in art school I did a triptych depicting Holy Week. The third part was Easter that I had done with pastels depicting Jesus emerging from the tomb with an angel rolling the stone away; I was never happy with how that turned out reworking the idea over the years. Conceptually I like this pen and ink version but am not sure this is my final take on the subject. I always had the concept of trying to depict the fact that Jesus had been prepared for burial incompletely and at the same time not to have him look like "The Mummy". At the same time having sense of power behind the event that conquered sin and death.
