Worst. Christ. Ever.

Or best ever?? I can't decide!

"Infinite Hope" is my biggest project to date! It is a sculpture I made primarily of wood, foam and crystals. Through research, I learned that Jesus was 5'3' tall (which made him actually a tall Jewish man at that time). I used cooper tubing to make his 5'3'' skeleton and then built from there. After sealing the sculpture, I utilized a metallic paint to give Jesus a metal look (thus avoiding the weight of a metal sculpture- while achieving the look I desired). The actual sculpting portion of this work took 4 1/2 months to complete. I then spent the past 10 months encrusting Jesus with almost 250,000 Swarovski crystals (four different types of Swarovski crystals were used). To me the brilliance of the crystalized Jesus symbolizes all
of the hope religion and my faith bring to me.
