Death And The Word

image

From a project I’ve contemplated for a while now. The text is an obvious reference to naming as the first act of creation. The vegetation is to remind us that the 2nd defiance against god, for the Abrahamaists, was vegetarianism. The slug is the slow, but steady pace of the Conqueror Worm or Life as I like to call it. Plants on the page wraps all this symbolic activity into the fecundity of possible rebirth or the advent of choice. But the plants are dying as they’ve been plucked. And the page that carries thought comes on the boughs of dead trees.
