THE STORY:
The challenge with this illustration was to control the pencil leads to a mid tone perfection with a sensitive feel to the flesh and shape of the feet. My friend Pete had photographed his feet pointing into the sky while on the Great Barrier island in New Zealand. When I saw the image I turned it upside down and there birthed a surreal idea. Originally it was used as a study for my painting “Ascension and the Pearl of Great Price” and after I became more confidant to publish my works I added the presentation ideas of perspex and brushed aluminium to set it off. I have added nail scars (taken from scar tissue on my own body) two his feet but not having been there on the day of His crucifixion I cannot say how accurate I have been with the positioning. In my opinion, why this happened is more important to know than arguing over how and where.
So from a photo on a surf trip, to feet in the clouds the story developed as I was inspired by reading about Jesus and the wonder when he left His creation and His followers somewhat perplexed back here on earth. As the dust of the Israel fell off his feet I’m sure the disciple’s must have been mind boggled, in awe of what just took place. It was a, “What the ????” moment. I know if I was there I would have felt the same and can very easily understand why there has been so much controversy and confusion as to whether it happened or not. It was not natural, it was supernatural and our natural minds could not fathom its significance. For most of us it is out of our comfort zone and yet He spelt it out clearly in advance that it would happen. When I realised this I found myself wanting to be there. His story has travelled through every nation, from Jerusalem to Cairo, London to Paris, Istanbul to New York and even down under to New Zealand and Australia and it hasn’t changed as it travelled through the deserts to the cities. Wherever you travel in the world you will see His story on the walls of caves, in the art of interior decorations in modern homes, on the bookshelves amidst the great philosophies of mankind and yet the story remains the same, He said He is coming back the same way in which He left. What ever we believe will not change this fact that He is the anchor of good hope in a world lost in its confusion of purpose.
And so this simple Chiaroscuro pencil illustration is packed with meaningful intent to stir us to consider things we may never have given much time to think about.
