Artist description of this piece:
In creating this piece, little did I realize each moment I spent drawing Christ & pondering on His life, I was also building my testimony & understanding of Him.
Creating this piece took me over one hundred hours to complete. I gave attention to each & every stroke I placed in portraying Christ. I drew every single hair on His head, every lash about His eye, & every crease of His face. I have no doubt Christ placed an even greater degree of meticulous effort as He created The First Day. I imagine He aligned each photon of light in its perfect spot - not because He was told to, but because He wanted to because He loves us & wanted to give us His best.
I imagine as Christ completed His work that day, He gazed upon His efforts weary & pleased. If I were there, I think I would find Him marveling at His work in a similar stance to this one: exhausted by the efforts, yet, excited by what it meant for each & every one of us. Progression. Growth. A time to “prove them herewith” (Abraham 3:35).
In studying The Creation, I often overlooked The First Day, imagining it was the easiest of the days to complete & viewing it as one of the least exciting; however, as I have labored over this piece, my understanding & adoration of that day has transformed. I now view The First Day as the gateway to my mortal life, my ability to gain a body, my gift of agency, & my gift to create – to create life & to create artwork.
Oh, what a glorious day this is to me!
