Typical of Richmond’s work, fulcrum uses a chair to stand as a symbol of both Christ’s body and a sacrificial offering. “The fulcrum refers to the week, the day, the hour at which all aspects of the plan of salvation pivot,” said Richmond. It is the moment of the Resurrection, where the cloth stood empty and the chains of death were broken.
