Against god in the name of god


So here is the new post. This is my latest sculpture. The title of the post is its working title. The wood I acquired up the canyon with my friend Josh. The figures are cast in wax. The picture makes things a little hard to distinguish so I'll help you out. The figures are cast in various skin tones which represent race. The figures are distorted and mangled.
Mankind has frequently committed horrible atrocities against their fellowman in the name of god.

A well done, yet disturbing sculpture. Seeing how it is a commentary on the history of mankind, "disturbing" is undoubtedly part of that history. When will we learn?

I'm glad you described. I've never been one of those that can figure out the subtle meanings (even not so subtle) of art pieces, although I always enjoy viewing it. and ditto Rebecca's comments.

Good job. Hope it didn't mess it up too bad when you knocked it over. Can't wait to see your other stuff. Good luck with your website.
