Triptych Project

Mock up for proposed installation
So here is a sketch of my goal for the semester... it's building on things I've done last semester.  Here is an image of my last project:


I'd like to use the triptych project to create the male/female posters on either side of the set up.  I was thinking of collaging either pornographic images or traditionally feminine/ masculine things in a pixelated way to make the form of the figure. ( Not sure would be nice for some feedback.)   For the central image I'd like to try the aftereffects program to make a simple animation of a headless monster being stabbed repeatedly.  I'm not sure if this is reasonable for the time we have for this project or not.

These are all works made for a show I had at Pageant Gallery in Philadelphia in April of 2010. 

All the works were made on Photoshop using a combination of parts of found Google images and photos taken by me.  The triptych incorporates multiple sources including alchemical diagrams, religious iconography and compositions borrowed from paintings, prints and sculptures created by artists such as Durer, Michelangelo, and Bosch among others .  


The four sacrament prints are based off of the four stages of a ritualistic performance done in October of 2010.  A link to the documentation:
