Crucifix

It's funny, I'm not a Christian, but I've been blessed with a lot of commissions for the church. Maybe God's trying to tell me something. I've always found the image of the Crucifixion at once both terrible and profoundly moving. In carving this depiction of Christ, I've tried to soften the image some by portraying a moment of hope as he sees paradise and an end to suffering.
