DESCRIPCIÓN:
“Keith finished the panels and then,
for the first time, saw the three altar piece sections.
He stared at them and was silent. Then he set
to work. He cut into the clay and began to carve
freeflowing lines. The images that emerged
were unlike the others. They were religious: an
inspiration of the life of Christ; a baby held by a
pair of hands; hands ascending toward hea-
ven; Christ on the cross. On one side panel
he depicted the resurrection.
On the other, a fallen angel. When Keith fini-
shed, as he stepped back and gazed at this
work, he said, ‘Man, this is really heavy.’
When he stopped, he was exhausted, and it
was the first time I realized how frail he had
become. He was completely out of breath.
He said, ‘When I’m working, I’m fine, but as
soon as I stop, it hits me . . . ‘
The altar was Keith’s final piece of work.”
