(Artist’s Adult Son)

“Prayer for Jordan” and “Robert”.

Jordan is my oldest child. She has struggled with drug addiction for a decade. Has been in and out of treatment, in and out of jail, and has lost her children who are featured in the portrait of my son Robert, who dropped out of college to raise them when they were removed from my daughter’s care. 

This portrait is a prayer that those cultural and spiritual ways of being may overcome her vision by blocking her access to the destructive influences she has become fixated on. The cultural “tool box” as I like to call it is a birthright…but it was also gifted to her. And if feels as though she has neglected to open the box for some time now. The wire mesh that I mounted my pieces on are visible in parts of this portrait representing the cage both literally and figuratively that she keeps not only her heritage in, but the cage her body and spirit are in as well, having been placed behind bars several times. 

I encourage all of you to be prayerful as you interact with those two particular pieces. As uncomfortable as it is for me to publicly share her private struggles, I know that she can't do this all alone. I believe that the more we “see” each other, actually see each other, the more love and support we can generate from each other. I also believe in the power of prayerful thoughts and it is my hope, that by sharing this, she will have the full weight and breadth of this community rallying behind her. Because prayers are incredibly powerful.
