This cutting is based on Matthew 5:8. It’s a part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, known as the Beatitudes.
A beatitude is an expression of supreme blessedness.
I have to confess that this cutting can be convicting. My heart is seldom as pure as this paper cutting conveys.
When I started this piece, I had a general idea of what I wanted to depict, but nothing concrete. That’s one of the things I love about the creative process. I usually have no idea how I want my art to turn out. I just follow where it leads. In that way, I hope I’m letting God direct my creative choices.
