FROM THE ARTIST:

This print was produced using a single screen and the reductive process. Each stencil, created by-hand with coloring and texture applied using traditional stenciling and pochoir techniques. 15 editions were hand-pulled by the artist. 

The image of vultures circling and sitting atop a church steeple, is one I’ve actually witnessed a few times in my life. The poignant beauty of the clouds and steeple juxtaposed with the vultures feeding on the carrion is a stirring picture and representative of having been personally “mishandled” by those claiming religious authority. Many use the words “faith” and “religion” interchangeably. I firmly believe they are not. The piece represents my personal journey. It has been a difficult one, yet freeing.
