Artist's Comments

This was the result of a night off and a shit load of creative motivation. I spent eight hours strait on this piece. I used water colour, ink, tissue paper, clippings from the dictionary and the book of Revelation. I also sewed and burned it a little. The blue blotches in the upper left hand corner were actually blotches of paint that came off my fingers. It has this creepy physchotic look that somehow resembles bloody finger prints in luminol (in the possitive version, they're actually red). Needless to say, this is one of my more ambitious pieces...(by ambitious I really mean insane)

It's the end of the world. The known (and unknown) universe is contracting into the big crunch; deflating like a collapsing lung. The sky festers with livid eddies while the ground breaks out in lacerations into the crimson abyss. The righteouses are crucified on skyscrapers of crosses that seem to rake the stratosphere and threaten to impale the sky and burst the bubble of celestial creation. Although graceful in their divine ascent, they still savor their victory and the contempt of the damned. However, still in the midst of the cataclysm stand neutral parties, stranded at the forks of these metaphysical crossroads, still trying to solve the divine equation; still trying to decide if they deserve to burn or if they have the right to paradise everlasting.
Neither. The whole of creation is divine in is inanities. Besides, there is no salvation from the finality of death and eternity.

The apocalypse is a fascinating and timeless symbol, and one that has come to mean more to me over the years as I've become increasingly aware of its significance to other things I have studied or enjoyed.
What I like most about this is the fact that while it is very much abstract, there are still bits and pieces of it that are recognizable as distinct shapes (the figure, for instance).
The multitude of textures used here is phenomenal! I especially like the stitched part, however small, in the corner and how the text contrasts so well with the scratchier, rougher textures throughout the bulk of the piece.

Remember friend as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now you soon shall be
So prepare for death and follow me.
