"A Face from the Wounded Ground", acrylic on canvas, Bishop Maxim, 2026
From a surface already used and layered with earlier gestures, a face slowly emerges without plan or correction. The marks, scratches, and ruptures of the ground read as human wounds—those gathered through grief, fatigue, and lived experience across many paths of life.
Nothing is smoothed away. Light passes through the fractures. The eyes remain open and attentive, neither commanding nor retreating.
It is a face that could be Christ—appearing not from perfection, but from what is worn, spent, and quietly waiting to be seen.
