Scriptures I Collage

All components of this piece were hand made by the artist, including carved, embroidered and metal embossed “scriptures covers”. (No found objects were used). Silver, brass, precious and semiprecious stones, gold leaf and modeling compound are among other materials used. Center panel: oil on canvas (6.5 x 6.5 in) This new series of works is inspired by the beauty and craftsmanship devoted to the creation and preservation of holly texts. I found myself exploring the meaning of what lies behind the stone-incrusted covers of our most precious beliefs. This new series of works is based on my skewed study of the sacred. Astonished by the effort and blood invested to keep alive what was said before, that what remains constant. The most precious materials have been chosen for the creation of these objects, as if would be insulting to offer less than that. Where and how to keep what remains un contained ? Not even inside an exceptional architecture that defies what’s possible, like a culmination of the highest offering seams to suffice. But who today needs of artisans and their patience! In the process of doing it myself I discover that it was only about a selfish satisfaction, an unnecessary skill that amasses almost no merit.
