“Let Us Reason Together”
For Movement 6: Agnus Dei (From The Victoria Requiem)
16 x 16 inches unframed, 20 x 20 framed
Monotype print, oil pastel, & graphite
The focus on forgiveness of sins in the lyrics of this movement reminds me of the Old Testament verse, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red as crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18). The language is surprisingly collaborative and comforting, employing powerful color imagery. This artwork shows a searing scar of red surrounded by layers of white as a meditation on purification, reconciliation, guilt wiped away, and peace.
