And this also included your work, Tyrus.<br /><br />Know that there are Evangelical Christians out there who are finding satisfaction in your work whether that is your intent or not. I look forward to all the work that is still to come!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656170076113263880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155417120771304823.post-22576985905663680302010-03-09T20:01:16.404-05:002010-03-09T20:01:16.404-05:00Actually, the text in the background of this parti...Actually, the text in the background of this particular work is my grandmother's writing. I scanned letters into the computer and cleaned them up (took out the lines from the paper she used) and then printed them out and painted on them. This was an intensely personal piece.Musings on Contemporary Art & Artistshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520629592482077156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155417120771304823.post-83927601181743653372010-03-09T19:49:03.785-05:002010-03-09T19:49:03.785-05:00Hi Tyrus - I really like your figure work - and yo...Hi Tyrus - I really like your figure work - and your altar assemblages are amazing in their detail and symbolism. I especially enjoy the portraits done with writing in the background and on book pages.<br />It's too bad that your family doesn't follow this blog - what an amazing way to really get to know what's on someone's mind and what they care about...<br />As far as a fine arts education at an Evangelical college (even some of the "liberal" ones) - I used to wonder about that myself - no live nude models for figure drawing class, no art history that included any nudes - didn't make sense to me.
