Ecclesiastes 9:11

acrylic paint and gesso, paper collage, ink

February, 2002

I came across this text shortly after Sept. 11, and it was a powerful connection to people in the past who have suffered incomprehensible tragedies. As much as we would like to think that living our lives well will bring us good fortune, we have always needed this sobering reminder that "all things come alike to all."

The technique used in this piece is a combination of paper collage and acrylic painting. A layer of acrylic gesso was added to provide a better surface for writing.

Ecclesiastes 9:11

Pintura acrilica y gesso, pape! enpastado, Tinta

Febrero, 2002

Me encontre con este texto poco despues del 11 de septiembre, y resulto una coneccion muy fuerte en especial para la gente que en el pasado ha sufrido tragedias incomprensibles. Tanto mas nos agrade pensar que el vivir bien nos trae buena fortuna, siempre necesitamos recordar que, "Todo sucede de igual manera a todos."

La tecnica usada en esta pieza es una combinacion de papel empastado y pintura en acrilico. Se anadio una capa de gesso acrilico para mejorar la superficie para la escritura.
