Figured today’s a good day to release this.
The circles represent the six organizers present at the organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 6, 1830. (Others were present as well, though I’ve left them out for minimalism’s sake.)
Another Easter piece:
The white circle at top represents the resurrected Jesus Christ ascending into heaven, leaving the empty tomb behind (represented by the dark circle below). A companion piece to He Is Risen and He Is Not Here.
The white circle at top represents Jesus Christ. The row of three circles represents the First Presidency, and the remaining rows represent the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
And in the same vein as Gethsemane:
The title is a reference to Matthew 26:39. The triangles represent the Savior, and the golden circle represents divinity and holiness.
An Easter piece, in the same vein as He Is Risen:
The circle represents the empty tomb, and the light rectangle represents the stone rolled away.
The last of the three new pieces for Sacred Shapes:
This version is slightly modified from what’s in the exhibit.
Trying out a new riff on my circles-and-triangles style:
This one originally wasn’t going to be a religious piece (it was going to be something about motherhood), but at the last minute it became very clear that Tell Me the Stories of Jesus was what it was supposed to be called.
The figure at center represents the Savior in the garden of Gethsemane, and the faint light along the right side of the painting represents the angel about to arrive.
Another temple piece:
The bottom triangle represents the temples on Earth, and the top triangle represents heaven reaching down to us.
A new temple piece:
The individual triangles represent people and angels working in the Lord’s house to bring about his work and glory.
