Artist’s Statement

The cross-work of Christ is the singular event which binds the universe together and redeems God’s creation to Himself. It is the central declaration of Christianity which is to echo through every endeavor under the sun, whether music, science, mathematics, athletics…everything. It is fitting, then, that the cross in its radical simplicity towers as the dominant design element in this sculpture

The atomic trails which circle the intersection of the cross’s beams point to the scientific endeavor. The Christian scientist, in whatever field of study, finds himself seeing all things not only through the instrument in his hand, but also through the lens of the cross which stands for the lordship and redemptive activity of Christ. In short, the believing scientist’s work revolves around Christ just as the molecules in this sculpture revolve around the cross.
