PROFILE OF "JESUS DIGITAL COLLAGE"

Transfigured portrait of Christ.


CONCEPT :


I questioned how the transcendent Christ might appear. How might we realize him ?

He would be everything we have seen before, yet nothing we have seen before.

The computer seemed to be the most relevant and transforming medium to communicate Jesus at 2000, a new tool for a new time. I recalled unique images in art history that evoked a mysterious energy and universal recognition. Communication between these elements began to occur, and in the process a face appeared. A story appeared as well. The images seemed to combine forces and became the transfigured face of Christ, revealing his essence, a narrative of his life and times.

NEWSPAPER REVIEW :

-"Jesus 2000 Digital Collage" was reviewed by Will Noel, a curator of illuminated manuscripts and rare books at Walters Art Museum.

Excerpt from article in The Baltimore Sun -
" A Historical Context " - by Holly Selby :

"Just for fun I asked will Noel, curator of illuminated manuscripts and rare books at the Walters Art Museum to point out a few of the many examples of images, techniques and traditions handed down over the years and reflected in the "Jesus at 2000" exhibit. ' It's clear for example, that Sara Morton of Massachusetts, deliberately refers to other artists in her work, "Jesus Digital Collage." It makes reference to Michelangelo's Adam and Eve ; Flemish artist Robert Campin's Virgin Mary; and Italian painter Giotto's Mary Magdalene.' - Noel says. "
