"Jesus of the People" simply came through me. I feel as though I am only a vehicle for its existence. Jesus stands holding his robes, one hand near his heart, and looks at us — and to us. He is flanked by three symbols, the yin-yang symbol representing perfect balance, the halo conveying Jesus’ holiness and the feather symbolizing transcendent knowledge. The feather also refers to the Native American and the Great Spirit. The feminine aspect is served by the fact that although Jesus was designed as a man with a masculine presence, the model was in fact a woman. The essence of the work is simply that Jesus is all of us.
