Like many artists and photographers before me, I discovered this crucified Jesus beyond religion, through the lens of art and service.
This Jesus, I found, doesn’t leave. He stays with us and each day we decide if he will remain crucified, or come down from the cross to feed the poor, to shelter the homeless, to love the unloved, to walk in the world again.
(Note: The crucifix shown above sits on a side-wall in the sanctuary at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Plymouth, Michigan.)

What a powerful image and concept!
Stunningly beautiful and powerful in it's simplicity. Your comments, too, are to the point and without fuss. Extremely powerful work, Robin.
