Richard Fudge, from down in Memphis, asked me to take part in a really cool project he's started called 'To Send a Prayer'.  He's mailing three journals around to Christian artists around the country and asking them to make one spread in the journal into a personal expression of prayer.

The picture above is my addition to the project.  I came across a striking song lyric that inspired a prayer in me that inspired me to make this image.  There is a Mount Eerie song 'Lost Wisdom' in which the writer has a mystical experience in nature.  At one point the song sings, 'I open the front door and the back door and let the wind blow through.'  For whatever reason this line really stuck with me.  I didn't even consider that he might be talking about a physical door.  In my mind, the door in this line refers to a door to a human spirit.  The doors are opened and the Wind comes through, the Pure Spirit.  I hope this image conveys both an emptiness of the human spirit and the capacity for God to dwell within us.

I'm sure some people will read it as a t-shirt that doesn't say anything, but that's what I get for not putting any words on this spread.
