Inspired by centuries of representations, especially those found in beautiful Catholic cathedrals, I desired to create an image of the crucifixion for my community that honors this tradition and incorporates the beauty of restored doctrine. At the base of the cross, near the feet of Jesus, are the words \"Hoc Est Opus Meum Et Gloria Meum,\" Latin for \"This Is My Work and My Glory\" (Moses 1:39). In this modern scripture, Jesus states His purpose as bringing to pass our immortality and eternal life. The halo surrounding Jesus, printed darkly to add weight, holds the masses (each of us) upon His arms, witnessing His sacrifice in our behalf. In creamy white and low contrast, the masses continue, receding into the background to emphasize the infinite and personal nature of Christ’s atonement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in the mountains, Kristin Alley Carver is a graduate of the Fine Art (emphasis in printmaking) and Special Education programs through USU. Motherhood, nature, difficult experiences, and eternal questions inform much of her work.  Crafting images to answer questions, record memories and impressions is an essential daily practice. She finds the physicality, rich beauty of mark making, and the surprise of relief printmaking a fulfilling medium to write her heart upon. Art has given her the ability to transform, reveal, and highlight the beautiful and miraculous- it is her personal and most powerful connection to divinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Altus Fine Art:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs individuals, we are all drawn, as Paul said, to seek after that which is pure, lovely, of good report, or praiseworthy.
