The Virgin Mary Series (For this blog entry read from the bottom on up)

The Virgin of Fixation 2009:

The Virgin has been in the spot light for years. A woman we know little about other the her name was Mary and 14 she was married to Joesph and was knocked up with God's seed. And gave birth to a baby boy she named Jesus. We can't but help but to be fixated on her. She was a mother symbol for so many people in the world and myself included.
The Virgin of Hope 2009:
Even though her son was now dead she had the courage to go on. She had to hope that her son knew what he was doing and that there would be some hope in his actions. After the Crucifixion of my dream I found the courage to hope for the future. There just has to be hope or there is nothing left worth living for.

The Virgin of Broken Dreams 2008
I'm Sure the Virgin Mary had dreams her self of what she wanted in life and her son and I imagine the Crucifixion of her son was not one of them. And like her I had a dream and someone I thought loved Crucified that dream.


The Virgin of Deception 2007:
This was the first Virgin I did in this series. My Virgins are not a attract on the Catholic Church or on the Virgin her self. Its more about seeing her as a real human being rather like a religious figured. How much do we really know about her other then she was knocked up at 14 by god? This Virgin of Deception is about how we might see people or situation but can you rise above to see past the Deception. I'm sure Joseph had to really think about if his new wife was a tramp or blessed by God. For me I think of her as a young girl who had no choice in her marriage to Joseph and or choose this so called "Miracle Birth".
