Einstein

My first serious woodburn, creating this helped me recognize that woodburning slows me down – no space for worry or anxiety when concentrating so hard on something that comes about so slowly. I burned this piece for a devout Christian – I asked him to name for me someone he admires; I totally expected him to name a saint or some other biblical inspiration. Nope, Einstein, which further piqued my curiosity about where religion and science overlap. At the time of this piece, I was just diving into religious studies, and was (and still am) fascinated by Einstein’s agnostic views.
