My time within the Catholic church is embedded with me wherever I go. I pride myself on once being a Catholic, but my current pride overrides the past feelings when I chose to leave the church. Ever since I started to develop my character, it seemed like everybody knew exactly how or what I would end up like. Bringing little dolls and figurines to Sunday mass eventually turned into a Bible in both hands, trying to figure out the problem of my homosexuality with members of my church. I thought I was an Angel in the church’s image, but it turns out I was what they dawned upon. The day I decided to shed my wings and leave the church was when I regained my own set, thus representing my discarded wings in this sculpture. I filled the wing with thoughts I carry, such as promises to my mother and chastity, shame, and Bible verses placed within my past. I stained the wing with watercolors and coffee and layered text over text to imply the never-ending emotions of religious guilt. I decided to leave some of the wings white to show the hope I still have that one day; I might regain some connection within any type of religion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18330,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18329","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-time"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBlake Robertson - Parsons Notes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/student-work\/blake-robertson\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Blake Robertson - Parsons Notes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"My time within the Catholic church is embedded with me wherever I go.
