Lover of Devotional Ephemera draws upon the love of paper, textile belongings, and analog media. A fabricated vhs tape cover made from found wheatpaste posters, fragmented pencil crayon drawings and hand stitched text elements presents a Choose Your Own Adventure story. Sci-Fi monsters; marginal figures of illuminated manuscripts; paper dolls; memories of a hard-hitting horror; stitching samplers gone awry; weathering wheatpaste; colour in toothy texture; your favourite handwritten notes, should they be given bodies—these are the Forms of Devotional Ephemera.
Inspired in part by the work of abstract artist and mystic Hilma af Klint and the words of Athens, Georgia post-punk group Pylon.
"I love forms, and forms love me / The more you look, the more you see / Everything is cool"
Cool - Pylon, from "Gyrate," 1980
"The pictures were painted directly through me, without any preliminary drawings, and with great force. I had no idea what the paintings were supposed to depict; nevertheless I worked swiftly and surely, without changing a single brush stroke."
