Two years ago I was asked to create a version of Station Ten ... this was it It was that piece that led to my first museum exhibition and ultimately leading me to do the entire 14 Stations.
History The Stations of the Cross are the fourteen traditional panels depicting the final moments of Christ's life starting with his condemnation to death at the hands of Pilate to his crucifixion and burial in the tomb. Over the years pilgrims would go to Jerusalem and walk the route Jesus took on his way to the cross, stopping at moments along the way to remember, reflect and pray. The Stations began appearing in the middle ages when pilgrims were forbidden to enter Jeruselem when it was occupied by the Turks. They made the Stations as a way to remember in Spirit back in their own countries. Long considered only a Catholic tradition, they are now finding a popularity across all traditions. These are my versions. This journey started in January of this year and the last of the Fourteen was completed April 4th.
