ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Within and beyond Judeo-Christian civilization, believers and unbelievers alike appreciate the beautiful poetry of mystery in the Bible. This verse is familiar from many childhoods, and stands as invitation and inspiration or comfort. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any one shall hear my voice and open the door, I will come in. Revelations 3.20 Most of my art uses asemic writing, writing, cut out text, poetry, song lyrics, or fonts. I wanted to do a series that relied solely on text. Each of these pieces repeats the verse over and over. It is not asemic writing- that is, wordless script- because these are actual words, although only glimpses of them can be caught in my scrawl. I wanted to abstract the text or script enough that it is decorative but so that it hints at the content. What better poetry to use than Biblical poetry, familiar to so many of us through history, and rich in mystery and allegory?

If one word could sum up her work, it would be "curiousity." Using writing, photography, collage, painting, and more, Canadian artist Lorette C. Luzajic explores art history, literature, religion, pop culture and human behaviour. Her work has been shown in galleries, museums, nightclubs, on a billboard, in a magazine ad campaign, on poetry and text book covers, and as a prop on film and television. She has travelled to Tunisia as a guest of the Ministry of Culture for an international artists symposium, and showed in Merida, Mexico as well. She has been a judge for the international Boynes Artist Awards, three times. She has collectors in at least 40 countries so far, including France, Estonia, Australia, and Saudi Arabia. She is also the founding editor of The Ekphrastic Review, the flagship literary journal of writing inspired by visual art. She teaches mixed media at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and art appreciation and writing through the journal.
