Bas-Relief of St. Ignatius Loyola and the Crucifix
St. Peter's, Charlotte is a Jesuit parish. They needed an image of St. Ignatius Loyola; and, like every Catholic parish, they needed a Crucifix, so I decided to make a bas-relief which contained both of these elements. St. Peter's, being an inner city church, has an important homeless ministry. I thought the homeless folks who come to the parish might appreciate seeing themselves in the art of this church. A homeless man is shown with a plastic garage bag full of his belongings at his feet. Christ hangs on the Cross. He is surrounded by attending angels.
