Miracles Unbound
Acrylic on canvas
#before my fellow Catholics come at me#yes I know that the monstrance door would be shut and any accidentals would be carefully maintained#I know that leaving the body of Christ on the altar like that would not be what happens in real life#bc priests donβt want to desecrate the sacrament. I know this do not yell at me about this.#this piece was inspired by my complicated relationship to the Eucharist#because I am very rarely in a state where I can receive it. it just sits before me impersonal. a reminder of how bad I need to go to confess#but itβs very easy to forget that in essence. the host and wine *are* the body and blood.#and that further. we are the body of Christ. and our work cannot and should not be contained to the structure of the church alone.#the true meaning of the Eucharist is both flesh and spirit#God both escapes and rises above any attempt to contain His glory#there is no containing a miracle. no miracle is clean and neat and pretty and palatable. by nature it disrupts our status quo.#so the door to the monstrance is broken; God bleeds on the altar.#orchids paint
