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.
