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:
