Violence, 2017 44 x 62

“Cain and Abel”, 40×60. Based on research from the Old Testament, Dead Sea Scrolls, Hebrew writings and the Quran. The day Cain, some believe to have been the son of Eve and Satan, clubbed to death Abel, the son of Eve and Adam who God favored, murder was let loose into the world. An awful day that would be and is to this day, repeated again and again. Abel represents not only the first offspring to die a violent, horrific death; he also comes to represent the lamb, the good shepherd who will be killed by man, dying on a cross. Taken further here he represents the battered domestic violence women and LGBTQ who die at the hands of Cains in their lives. The blood of Abel soaks into the ground, forever staining our earth, just as much as every death from violence does still today. The sun that day screams of violence for an event that is about to change the world forever, letting loose the primal satanic desire to take the life of another, which no one person by Our Great Creator intends for us, any of us, to do.
