Dying Church
“Dying Church” is a mixed media art piece that I completed several months ago, using acrylic paint, sand, newspaper, and beads. It was created as a multi-staged painting, with each stage accompanied by a short poem.
i. In the Beginning
out of nothing
everything
brilliant light
a voice
ii. Nebula
among the tombstones
new light shining
don’t fear the end—
even stars must die
iii. The Cross
blood oozes, dripping
dying embrace, reaching
even us
it is finished
iv. Dying Church
dust rises
choking out the light
lost and empty, staring
into nothing
