The Wordless Book and other sounds
The Front Gallery
The Wordless Book and other sounds are drawn from an ongoing series that interrogates the symbolic and associative power of colour through Victorian Baptist preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s proselytic text ‘The Wordless Book,’ and utilize a Victorian set of hymn board psalm numbers (from zero through nine) in their construction. These works vacillate between church and gallery, thereby situating the viewer in a liminal space between ritual and motif.
