Another Arty Piece...since I'm in the mood

Oh ok , I'm on faith thing again, notice I said faith and not religion, I am not religious (I avoid its connotations overtly actually), but this is the 2 nd of 2 pieces I did for an exhibition, the exhibition was entitled God, Love, Life & Murder, and the piece above is the more 'soppy' of the 2. I honestly believe that one cannot focus just on the good at the exclusion of 'evil', we need to be acutely aware of 'bad stuff' so we can commit to and understand the imperative of the 'good stuff'... I wrote this little piece about 10 years ago but I think it finds resonance here: "If we love only that which is good then it is not God we are loving but something other to which such a name is ascribed, we must love God too through the evil around us, solely because evil is as real as the good, and behind all reality is God! remember it takes a bit of devilry to create the best Angels..."
