About this artwork
Artist Sumner Crenshaw portrays a woman radiant in her power. "I think being in touch with our dark side is how we grow and create," says Sumner. The figure pirouettes with whirling lines emphasizing her energy and jubilant motion. Sin-eating was a ritual practice, with the idea that a deceased person can be cleansed of their wrongs when another person consumes their vices.
