it isn't simply black and white

If there is anything I've overlooked, I would have to say its religion. Going to a Catholic school for twelve years and having it constantly in my surroundings and daily activities, its easily overlooked. Its funny, the themes that seem to be the most present in our lives are often the ones we overlook. To most, religion is black and white. Most believe it is either all right or all wrong, there is never really a middle ground. After being asked what I have overlooked, I've come to this realization that whatever religion your examining, whether it be Christianity or not, is a lot more complex than simply black and white. Its a fascinating part of art and history that has caused crusades and revolutions. It makes some cringe and at the same time moves others into fiery passion. It is not simply, two-toned, black and white, its a multifaceted part of our world and in a way religion is really how you use it. As a designer, I like to use what is around me as the inspiration for my work. Even if something strikes me as negative, I like to take it and reinterpret it into something that speaks to me. Lately, I've been going forth with the idea of religion being black and white. But, I've come to the realisation that sometimes there are not two truths to an idea. The truth is often one side or the other.
