Eric, Mavis Pusey, screenprint on paper
A black and white photographic image of Venice's Monumento al doge Tron, showing several of its figures and the its sarcophagus wrapped for protection. The title of the print is rendered in letterpress in an old-style seraph typeface and spaced at between ¾-1" below the image, and centered.
Bird House (Pastor's Love Offering), Reverend Benjamin Franklin Perkins, acrylic on wood
A four-sided, metal-framed architectural structure with walls of two-sheet Plexiglas. The frame is rectangular with a raised pitch; there is no roof or cover. The front wall contains an open doorway, through which visitors may enter. Rows of narrow shelves line the walls of the structure. Evenly spaced upon the shelves are small "bricks" of Lucite, within which are suspended bits and pieces of small everyday objects. The shelves are lit so as to make the individual bricks glow. Soil is mounded around the structure's outer perimeter to about a two-foot width. There are shards of crockery and other detritus in the dirt. One hears a soundtrack of recorded voices, mostly one-at-a-time.
