Notes
History major, BYU. Artist statement: "King Lamoni goes through one of the greatest transformations in all of scripture. This artwork, done in silver and black scratchboard, represents the moment when the "veil of unbelief was cast away from his mind". I love this medium because the contrast between dark and light is so stark and irresistible to the eye. Similarly there is a great contrast between good and evil. Sin is so dark and terrible as to make one feel that they can never escape. However the radiant light of the complete forgiveness that Christ offers can fill a person with life and happiness. Indeed in King Lamoni's case it infused his soul with such joy that he proclaimed that he had seen the very Son of God."
