What I'm working on right now for the end of the term (and my new BFA project?) is based on canonization (the period of time with stained glass windows, manuiscripts, reliquaries, etc). I want to play with traditional Biblical themes in modern settings, the saintification of modern do-gooders and the near saint quality we attribute to celebrities. I know that's a lot, but I'm just gonna play with it all at first and go with whichever produces the strongest work. This first stained glass piece is from the foremost category, where the Seven Sins are represented through a man's interaction with the computer and the internet. The are (from left to right, top to bottom)Vanity (Myspace), Lust (Pornography), Coveting (Cyber-Piracy), Greed (Ebay), Gluttony and Sloth (lounging and pigging out at the computer) and Anger (swearing on forums)
I find that projects I do well on are either based off of humor, a narrative, and my faith. So let's see how this goes.
