What crossed my mind was how I've seen xrays of the picture painted on the underlying layer beneath the overlying masterpiece, and the computer generated living face on top of a skeleton's skull. Can these bones live?
All of which got me thinking about underlying a picture of dirty shepherds, or stable, or baby refugees as would now be in Syria. I experimented with the Swanson drawings and some photos off the internet. I was shook up with thought which came during church - of seeing the divinity in the faces we have seen so much in the Aleppo news.
In this process of experimenting these few hours, I almost stopped because the photos were so painful, so sad, so un-nerving. But here it is.
