The Burden of Faith (series)

Medium: Acrylic, Pastel, Digital (digital print) Year: 2021 Artist: The Lorekeeper

Artist’s Statement

The Church is masterful in its use of iconic imagery. The flat black badge on the breast of every missionary, the heraldic shield of the CTR ring , the unmistakable silhouette of the Salt Lake Temple. All these and more provide comfort to the Saints who believe. But to those who struggle with their faith, those for whom the Gospel does not fit, these same symbols can have the exact opposite effect. What was once a comfort becomes a burden – often a burden so heavy it feels like you are having the breath crushed out of you.
