8×10inReminiscent of the outstretched arm of Adam ever-inching towards the finger of God in Michelangelo's masterful fresco floating over the Sistine Chapel, the pierced arm of Jesus Christ opens its hand ever-slightly towards us. Depending on the orientation of the piece, the hand could be reaching towards the heavens—as Adam had done (as seen here)—or it could recall the manner of death voluntarily experienced by the Christ on the cross. Either way, the print presents the price for truth that, although presented somewhat romantically here, was a ghastly act of grace.
