Come Unto Me

This sculpture depicts Jesus with the children. In designing this sculpture I chose a triangular composition which traditionally is a strong design for groupings. Every major line leads to the face of Christ who is the focal point and apex of the sculpture. Each child is shown with gestures that are appropriate to their age. The young teenage boy is a bit aloof, yet involved. The young girl is actively reaching up to Christ and the baby is completely relaxed and sleeping. I have depicted Christ more to show His character qualities. He is a bit larger than scale to signify His deity. I have shown His compassion and His love. He is strong and well built, wearing the typical attire of Biblical days and yet the children are contemporary children showing that He is the God of yesterday, today and tomorrow. His foot transcends the perimeter of the base indicating that He is accessible to all.

This sculpture is appropriate for schools, churches, chapels, homes and Christian businesses. Put on a pedestal, a plaque can be attached for a memorial or honorarium.
