Description

I have long been fond of medieval and Renaissance art and architecture. As a book artist who most often works in wood, I’m especially intrigued by multi-panel altarpieces and hinged icons. I’ve done a couple of folding triptychs in the past, and think of them as books in a very elemental form. For this piece, I turned a set of five furniture scraps into a pentaptych, letting the material dictate the size and chunky proportions. My narrative starting point was Christ’s entry into Jerusalem. Following the lead of James Ensor, maybe, I ended up with a dark retelling of that triumphal scene. In this piece, humans are conspicuously absent, but their mark is everywhere. A prayer in the animals’ voice, scratched into the four side panels, provides the key to a quietly apocalyptic narrative.
