Psalm 117 from A Pueblo Portfolio / Moss, David., 2007

 Item
Identifier: CC-47614-68626
Scope and Contents This print is taken from a suite of seven prints. Moss comments: "Soon after I began painting on pottery in this style, I developed a Hebrew alphabet based on the way in which pueblo artists divide and fill space. In this piece I have written out Psalm 117, which seemed especially appropriate for this work of merging Hebraic ideas with a particular, very regional, non-Jewish artistic style. Let every nation praise God! Let every people exalt Him! For His graciousness towards us has been abundant, And the truthfulness of His universal message is eternal. Written by a poet of a tiny people in a remote corner of the Middle East, it is remarkable how clear the vision of the universality of this message was. That our Psalms continue to be sung daily in a thousand different languages in every corner of the globe bears witness to the power of this message. It seemed appropriate to write out this psalm in the language in which it was written and right in the place in which it was written,...

Psalm 105:4 from A Pueblo Portfolio / Moss, David., 2007

 Item
Identifier: CC-47613-68625
Scope and Contents This print is taken from a suite of seven prints. Moss comments: "This piece incorporates the fourth verse of Psalm 105 with the Hebrew lettering formed by the negative (light) spaces left between the dark geometric patterns: Seek the Lord and His strength; Yearn for His presence constantly. The acts of seeking and yearning both imply a constant, never-ending, lifelong process. The Midrash Tanchumah quotes this verse and states: "Sometimes He appears; sometimes He does not. Sometimes He hears; sometimes He does not. Sometimes He answers; sometimes He does not-sometimes He is close; sometimes He is not." The circular form in which I have made this piece reflects this fundamental truth of the religious life. The verse reads over and over again just as the acts of seeking and yearning never end. Each Hebrew personal name has a Biblical verse associated with it. This is a verse that incorporates the name itself or begins and ends with the same letters as the name. Many people add this...

Solocoptro (after decampos) / Torres, Edwin., 2011

 Item
Identifier: CC-53727-642805
Scope and Contents This print was commissioned by the Telephone Journal for the exhibition at The EFA Foundation "Telefone Sem Fio: Word-Things of Augusto de Campos Revisited" from November 4 - December 17, 2011. [The Sackner Archive lent an original manuscript and limited edition works to this exhibition]. From the catalogue, the following citation was printed. "This piece is an homage to the mantras I read within de Campos's aesthetics"”where words transmute into each other as they roll over their own repetition"”creating breath within breath, an echo of language as it shape shifts past surface-meaning into base-origin, the primal sound underneath. I also wanted to walk in the minimalism of his graphic sensibility while inserting a charge of my own. His piece "CODIGO" spoke to me in its graphic vertigo. I read "GOD" in the letterforms, a circular oneness, a vortex that traps while liberating, perhaps my own illusions revealed. I went off on that tangent, designing the G-O-D letter forms into a...

 Item
Identifier: CC-56775-10000147

This poem that is repeated three times is based uan anonymous source. Wikipedia: Consubstantial is an adjective used in Latin Christian christology, coined by Tertullian in Against Hermogenes 44, used to translate the Greek term homoousios. "Consubstantial" describes the relationship among the Divine persons of the Christian Trinity and connotes that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are "of one being" in that the Son is "generated" ("born" or "begotten") "before all ages" or "eternally" of the Father's own being, from which the Spirit also eternally "proceeds." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
