With each stroke of his black chalk, he brings to life an array of subjects that range from religious figures to mythological tales. One striking piece is "Rev William Atkinson Wearing Broad-Brimmed Hat, " where Leaping Chasm's meticulous attention to detail captures the essence of this distinguished clergyman. The seated prophet in "Seated Prophet 1779 Black chalk stumped brush" exudes wisdom and mystery through its masterful use of shading.

" Here, he presents us with a poignant depiction of Christ as a child sleeping on a cross with a landscape and crown thorns foreground. This thought-provoking image invites contemplation on themes such as innocence and sacrifice. Religious devotion continues to inspire Leaping Chasm's work in pieces like "Saint Margaret Cortona James March Didacus 1734-1802.
