Having Found the Lowest Threshold (St. George Slaying the Dragon), 2013
acrylic on panel
7.08 x 6 inches
after: Nicolas Poussin's Massacre of the Innocents (1629)

In the summer of 2013, the murder of Trayvon Martin dominated weeks of news cycles.
As if we needed more of such news, the city of New Orleans had its own slate of what I
referred to as “murdered minors.” The whole phenomenon reminded me of the biblical
Massacre of the Innocents, the story in which Herod orders the execution of all young
males in Bethlehem to avoid the loss of his throne to a newborn king. I began questioning
what justification could possibly defend these modern slayings, and it quickly dawned on
me that it never seemed to take much for the killers to justify their actions.
Sometimes it was a simple as the victim wearing the wrong kind of clothing.
Nicolas Poussin’s The Massacre of the Innocents has always been my favorite depiction of
the aforementioned biblical tale, but much like the killing of youths that seemed to characterize
that summer, it had never been a settled image for me. I decided to experiment with it,
to see what changes I had to compel in order for the actions depicted to feel reasonable.
Having Found the Lowest Threshold (St. George Slaying the Dragon) was the result.
The women and children had to be from another world—they had to be aggressive—
in order for the soldier’s actions to feel “okay.” Sadly, those two criteria could be met simply 
by giving them another skin color and a different vision than the one holding the weapon.

So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him;
and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five
years when he departed out of Haran
, 2011
acrylic on panel
16 x 14 inches

This piece began with two stories about striking a rock to get water – that of Moses from Exodus and that of the S.S. Minnow of Gilligan’s Island. In Exodus, Moses responds to the thirsty complaints of the wandering Israelites – he strikes a rock with his staff and water pours out (seen here in the background to the right from Abraham Bloemaert’s Moses Striking the Rock). In Gilligan’s Island, the S.S. Minnow strikes a rock and water pours in. In both, the rock/water combination serves as both reminder of death (dehydration or drowning) and the instrument for the affirmation of life. The main image for this piece, Winslow Homer’s Basket of Clams, offers another look at striking a hard surface in order to establish a relationship between life and death – the idea of tapping an opened clam on the shell to see if it will close (a sure sign it’s alive and edible).
