These works truly(untitled two-page spread)44in x 22in, handmade book composed of blueprints of scanned collages of Bible illustrations and text, newsprint, and clear packing tape. 2010
I used a blueprint machine to create These Works Truly by enlarging small collages. I first made 5.5”x5.5” col- lages of torn images and text from reproductions of black and white Bible illustrations, and enlarged them to 22”x22” using the blueprint machine. I created many of the collages by placing torn images and text upside- down onto the sticky side of the clear packing tape. I chose the hate-filled text from Leviticus in the Bible that is frequently used against homosexuals along with art criticism text that comes from the Arts and Culture pages of the New York Times. I did not really know what each collage would look like until I completed it, picked up the packing tape, and viewed it from the other side.
Deconstruction, chance, and process played major roles in creating this piece. Almost accidentally, there is a resemblance to my own hand-drawn lines when the printed lines from the Bible illustrations are enlarged.
