I am probably misusing the name Medallion for these art pieces, as they are not really in the shape of a medal or really serve the purpose of a medallion in the traditional sense. I've long been interested in this type of shape that I typically refer to as a Tracery shape, one that is often found in the architecture of gothic cathedral windows. For me it is a standard symbol of the idea of pointing to heaven and just the shape of it gathers and directs your visual gaze to the top...heavenward. These art pieces are applied screen prints onto paper and also onto blackened wood.

The theme of this suite of medallions is Confession and Mercy, two important components of the Christian faith. They are primarily screen prints on paper juxtaposed with a screen print on another material such as metallized ABS or felted cloth.
