9. Jesus speaks to the women. Luke 23:27-31

27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For the time will come when you will say, 'Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!' 30 Then "'they will say to the mountains, "Fall on us!" and to the hills, "Cover us!"' 31 For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?"

“The Warning”

Wood block prints in geometric form

After I bumped into it again and again, a lamp hanging on the wall in my laundry room inspired this form. My wood block print “lamp” has five sides, as that number has interesting symbology and meaning in our faith (for example, it is the number often representing God’s grace as related to the five wounds of Christ). Framed between “the green tree” and “the dry tree,” the images are caught in an infinite loop -- our destructive nature, ever in need of grace.
