These paintings are part of a musical

worship project by Derek Webb called

FEEDBACK. The album is an

instrumental electronic album based on

the Lord’s Prayer. Derek Invited Jeremy

Cowart (photographer) and myselff to

create 9 corresponding images to the

songs he had created. These are the

paintings I made.

For me, the layers of these paintings

represent the history of the Lord’s

prayer itself. Just as we continue to build

up and layer over the foundations of our

society, so has the journey of entering

into the prayer of God. It’s written

throughout our history. Though it may at

times seem covered up, it’s still amidst

all the glitter and decay... speaking to

us, telling us about something ancient

yet resonating with our life today. The

graffiti is less about words (although

there are meanings to all of them) and

more about the emotions and textures

we find throughout our modern society.

Just as we see traces of creative life

throughout our cities, so too we see

symbols and signs of the Lord’s prayer

throughout our world. To me the music

and the images forged together in this

project are a modern urban meditation on

an ancient contemplative pathway to the

Almighty.
