Christianity, made through humble means

These are all photographs of thing that I have found, or sought out - in the case of the altar. Although I was baptized and confirmed Methodist, I don't hold allegiance to any Christian faith. My past, and my family's history, does influence my thoughts on this subject. But, I am largely interested in Christianity as a transformative power, and as a model for making (my) art.
