. . . subLiminality . . .

In the winter of 2006 I was comissioned by Mars Hill Graduate School to paint a response to the stories and images brought back from New Orleans by a group of students and staff who traveled to serve the people of that great city shortly after the Hurricane Katrina event. What I was most troubled by were the spray painted words on the garage doors of houses that said, "possible body." This obviously meant that whoever had initially inspected the houses discerned that most likely there was a dead body still there. Along with that were the images of trees fallen everywhere.

But it was the idea of "possible body" that lingers still. It seems to me a double entendre for sacred activism.

May we remember well . . .
