the word became flesh




a piece of recycled board had some orange, red and cream paint applied, then layers upon layer of text written in mostly chalk pastels. this was built up for a while, focusing on composing the colour areas. then the white was added using liquid paper. all the text is the title repeated over and over.

the top image is the whole work. the lower two are close up sections.

this work was specifically created for the blactown art show, 2009.

collage, acrylic, chalk pastel, liquid paper, pva glue on chipboard.
