Artist statement: "Linocut print on paper. We often hear the stories of Mormon and Moroni's feats of war, spiritual strength, or work to bring about the Book of Mormon, and carving the details of this piece in each block was much reminiscent to me of their process of writing on metal plates. I hope to capture the same Spirit that the Book of Mormon brings to me in this work by imagining the quiet moments between Mormon and his son that reflect the eternal love our Heavenly Father has for us. The Book of Mormon displays how He nurtures, teaches, and comforts His children, and this work is both a reflection of that and a pondering on the intimate moments that shaped the lives of two prophets."
