Artist Statement:
Broken Rock represents
chipping away the self imposed
weight of self doubt, hang
ups, past hurts, and baggage
we have claimed and have
chained ourselves to. With
bent back and bowed head we
struggle along dragging this
rock, living in its shadow
that darkens every aspect of
our life. With each new day it
grows heavier and more
imposing until it becomes
unbearable and we are
absolutely crushed by its
weight, weak from the
struggle, subdued by the pain
and finally broken.
Like Christ, who was crushed,
broken and died, removed the
rock from the tomb which
chained him to this world and
was born to a new life. A life
free from the shadows and
darkness. We must also be
crushed, broken and dead to
the world to unshackle us from
our rock, to remove it from
our path.
The process, at times, is an
endless chipping away that
lightens your burden slightly
each day. At other times the
process is a violent
shattering of the barrier as
you are being dragged through
the rubble to emerge bloodied
but not bowed, stronger and
whole with the warmth of the
sun of a new day on ...
