The Cross by Vicki McCaul
All I can say is this is beautiful. This creation was the second most popular at the Night of Prayer at NewSong Church.
Raz'n Hell by Vicki McCaul
This guitar was broken at a (very very loud) Christian hard Rock concert that happened here in Grove, Oklahoma. (I was there, can you believe it?) Some local youth groups boycotted the concert because it didn't fit into a neat so called Christian box, maybe because the teens that came were messy and wild, tattooed, pierced and talked rough, but they were fed in all possible ways including food in their bellys and they were made to feel welcome. Jesus was there at that concert that night. The guitar was given to Vicki to make art with and this is the result.
Games People Play by Vicki McCaul
Tribute to all the martyrs that lost their lives to translate the Bible from Latin into English so that the common man could read it. There are head shapes hanging from the bottom (we call them the talking heads) that have the names of many people who were burned at the stake for the crime of translating the Bible. The top of the piece represents the church and governments that wanted to keep the Bible in Latin to allow them to place themselves above the common people because this afforded them power that they would not have once the people were able to read the Bible for themselves. This is powerful stuff and if you don't know the history of all the people who lost their lives for a book we take for granted then you should do some research of your own. We were astounded, and we just scratched the surface of the history of these martyrs.

This is another piece that just sings when you see it in person. When we asked which art people liked best this one was pointed to the most. It was a big hit with the folks at NewSong that night. You can't tell from these pics but there is a hand inside the chest holding what appears to be a heart but the light is very bright. I wonder why...
God Gave Life by Vicki McCaul
I wish these photos didn't show the bump from the easel, but it is what it is. Try to enjoy the art anyway.
It would be wonderful if everyone could see this piece in person. It has a little music box player, that plays a lullaby, and Vicki included the pics of her children and signified the cross of Jesus because He gave us life. Beautiful creation.
