Good Friday

This is a piece I created a couple of years ago for the period of Lent, preceding Easter in the Christian calendar. It was commissioned by a local church and hung above the altar. It's constructed of rolled aluminum sheeting, cut by hand (by me). I used a rivet gun to place the pieces on the circular frame before painting.  The styrofoam nail was painted and attached and wrapped with red and black ribbon. It was no small feat to suspend it from the ceiling but once there it served as a reminder of the perfect sacrifice made for each one of us by the King of Kings.
