How To Use The Bible To Get What You Want. 2012-2013
The Book of Genesis is reinterpreted as characters suspended in a pang of discourse:
The rise and fall of Adam’s devotion,Eve born into discontentment, and the estranged personalities of Cain and Abel. These are Illustrations of the uncomfortable self awareness of the patriarchal influence on the individual. I want to explore a wide range of aesthetics to discuss how the bible often defines the social archetype so many strive to live up to.
Each image is accompied by text.
Prologue
A Patriarch rises.
In her innocent disposition. She wasn't created for the same reasons Adam was, thus she awakens to a much different Eden.
The Patriarch's Error.
And Her Son says to the Lord, “If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.” Genesis 4:7
The Hand that holds the head so bold will see what they see soon. (LOVE BALLAD #7)
The Patriarch retrogrades. (LOVE BALLAD #6)
Innocent in his disposition, makes a laborious gift for his Lord. When denied, He embraces the sin bestowed to him.
Abel is well aware of his parents and The Lord favoring him over his brother. like his mother, Abel too is innocent in his discontentment. So I question why was he not punished for taking a life of another? Perhaps he hid his brooding nature well.
