Best Interpretation: “When I first saw this piece I wasn’t really sure what to think but as I looked at it closer I think it is an interpretation of the American culture. We are all distracted by doing ‘stuff’ going places. Playing with the Alice in Wonderland theme of Alice falling into the bunny hole…maybe that is what America has done. We have all fallen into a bunny hole that has distracted us from Jesus and his blood sacrifice. We have become so distracted by our lives and our desires that we forgot about God’s love. We are all sleeping, consuming coffee to stay up and always searching for something to calm the storm…” -Tabatha

The Artist’s Secrets: “An intimate view of a child’s dream. I wanted to express the nervousness and anxiety of adolescence. Kids get so worked up over their recitals and schoolwork, inevitably they end up swirling in oceans of tea with bloody Jesus.” -David MacDowell
