Notes
Computer Engineering major, BYU. Artist statement: "The Savior taught to consider the lilies of the field how they grow, they toil not. The Nephites, like us, tended to toil and spin a lot. They had to learn time and time again that peace is only found in Jesus Christ. In the war, if you look closely you can see it happening more than once, another war is faded in the background. My wife Maia inspired me to cut up pieces of colored cardboard and glue it on as an added texture and personality to the piece."
