#14 calvary cross

The Calvary Cross is a biblical reference to Calvary, the place where Jesus Christ was crucified.  It is derived from the image of the larger cross and the two smaller crosses which appear periodically in the series.  The piece itself is more about the relationship between the color and the materials.  The title is meant to be thought provoking from a historical context.  The strong pinks and greens keep the newspaper in check. The pale pink background adds depth.
