Jasper Johns

I admire the works of Jasper Johns and created one small piece reflecting his style. The various I AM statements of Christ found in the Gospel of John form the theme of this acrylic painting. Together, these self-descriptions not only form a good theological perspective on the person of Jesus, but the phrase "I am" itself is a reflection on the meaning of God's personal name YAHWEH.
