Artist Statement:
In my experience of being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I have witnessed many occasions of condescending judgements made by members on individuals who live a life different to their own. It really bothered me to see self-proclaimed 'holy men' looking down upon the actions of those they perceive as 'common,' assuming their own superiority. When in reality it is those they look down upon those who often display grater humility and kindness, qualities I associate with Christlike behavior.
My inspiration for this piece derives from a talk given by President Nelson. His words struck a chord with me, leading to the creation of this artwork. The title, 'They Do Not Need Your Judgment,' is a direct reflection of the sentiments expressed in his discourse.
