Kunstadt Tue, 08 Dec 2009 01:37:50 +0000 http://blog.zatista.com/?p=426#comment-130 Thanks so much for choosing my work for this post, I love the topic of inspiration, and it's very relevant to this series actually. The inspiration for "Slash: Paper Under The Knife" came from working with the pages of a Parish Psalmody dated 1844. I had casually purchased the book many years prior. In working with this aged text, embracing its inherent qualities, the paper itself gained significance through the process and merges with a new intent, at times playful, intimate, and surprising. The pages of psalms provided intriguing elements to further explore: the strong discoloration, the sensitive fragility, the implications of the text and the time worn effect on the paper from extended usage. Ultimately the series of over sixty works evokes an ecumenical offering - poems of praise and gratitude.
