One day, Howell Malham decided to pay a visit to his brother Joey, a Byzantine iconographer, at his artist studio at a church on Chicago's north side. The door wouldn't budge because it was blocked by an altar cross that Joey decided to build because... he'd always wanted to build an altar cross in the Cimabue style. The massive cross wasn't commissioned, but Joey wasn't worried. He knew that the cross was the answer. He was simply awaiting the right question.MoSpod.org
