“Hear the Promise”
Sometimes amazing things happen in the studio during the art-making process. While I was working on one set of artworks for my current show at Little Relics Boutique & Galleria, I came upon the titles in a pretty unusual way. In the past, I have used Bible pages in my works, and I have been very careful to choose specific passages that realted to the imagery somehow, but for these works, I decided to use the text as more of a conceptual idea and so I just grabbed random scraps and pages and applied the pieces and pages, paying attention only with an eye to composition and design. I then layered the photo transfers on top of the Bible pages. As I was using pencils to add the first layer of color on the first piece, a couple words almost popped out at me, “sleep in peace.” I could hardly believe it, it was the perfect title for the image!
“Sleep in Peace”
Excited, I went to each of the other pieces and started looking for the titles. Sure enough, they all had something in them that served to give another layer of meaning to the visual image. I immediately wrote the titles on the backs of the panels and then after getting over my amazement, went back to work.
