Lazarus' Burial
Acrylic paint on circular canvas
Acrylic paint on circular canvas
6 x 6 inches
2007
These five pieces that portray the Raising of Lazarus depict a historical site in Dublin, Ireland, called Dublin Castle. This building and its neighboring gardens are located in downtown Dublin and feature an unusual blend of medieval and modern architecture. In this scene, Mary and Martha bind their brother’s body to prepare it for the tomb, and the monotone, black and white color scheme creates a solemn mood.

Waking Lazarus
Acrylic paint on oval canvas
7 x 9 inches
2007
This underground setting is based on the medieval foundations of Dublin Castle. Part of the current metal walkway is visible at the top. Lazarus’ wrapped form appears to blend into his surroundings in the dim light. A tiny white bird, perhaps representing an angel or the Holy Spirit, is perched on the smooth stones. It watches as two other little birds begin to pull at Lazarus’ shroud. These birds are not described in the Bible narrative; they serve as a symbolic interpretation of how Lazarus’ bonds were first loosened.

Lazarus' Choice
Acrylic paint on circular canvas
6 x 6 inches
2007
In this scene, Christ emerges from Dublin Castle as a giant, bent form, to remind the viewer of his later, conquered suffering. Mary and Martha unbind their healed brother, and Christ gently offers Lazarus a strange white plant in the shape of a cross. This cross is another symbol not described in the Bible narrative – it is a small reminder of the personal choice to bear one’s cross and the fruits of that experience.
