Description
CRUCIFORM,by VIVA Anderson,is my personal response to the Shroud as symbol of the Cruciform. Pity pity the abused children! Organized religious chaos, imploding.
It is abstracted to my sensibilities about light and shade and form, and, a personal response to dogma or faith, whichever you accept........................
When last I uploaded this, the following I found to be the most amazing response.........from my archives:::::::::::::: :"Sir Josef Putsche//// Mme Vivianne, you made me think deep again.....yes...Alveoli burst in seething pain Green bile floods out of lacerations. Cruciform expletives implode into disaster. I slice cornea's from my weary eyes. Scum stained nails rip teeth from jagged mouths. I stood in the womb of creation and cried. NOT LIED at the feathers dust of cream and the soft beam..........now and forever ......................not clever..............LF Josef. ..................
Viva Anderson:::Josef! You have dramatically seen it ! That you say, it is the truth of this, though only you see it, of course ! Powerful response to this powerful icon. Bravo,Sir. BRAVO !!!!!!!!!.

Yes, Susan. This issue is currently being heard in our Courts here, to do with 'duty of care' by those with and in the power of their jurisdiction...the church.
