I Drew the Cross

Digital C-Print
24" x 20"
"I Drew the Cross" is a photographic interpretation of a written Christian testimony in which the author recalls drawing a cross on the bathroom wall as a cry for deliverance from the abuse happening to him at school. It is a part of a body of work that represents my visual interpretation of different aspects of written and spoken testimonies. I look for important moments within the story that serve as turning points or markers in that person's spiritual journey and then re-create them based on my interpretation of the account. The resulting photograph becomes a portrait of a defining moment in their walk with God.
After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Birmingham-Southern College in Alabama, I decided to pursue a Master’s degree in photography to continue exploring photography as a fine art medium. I work in painting, photography, video and installation. My work focuses on exploring the Christian testimony as a way of seeing how the Lord is working in the lives of people today. I am on schedule to receive a Master of Fine Arts in photography and digital media in December of 2006 from Parsons School of Design in New York City.
