Barking at God

Barking at God is a limited edition of three signed and numbered gold foil-stamped, royal green cloth hardcover books housed in a matching, custom-designed clamshell box. Each edition is entirely handcrafted, from the binding to the letterpress text to the hand-pulled photogravures printed and hand-colored at the artist’s studio.

“All that’s left for me is to bark at God.”

— Clarice Lispector

“I began working on this series one day out of anguish and ended up rescued by a depth of meaning I never really meant to touch. The resulting images are hand-colored photogravures combining the graffiti of New Orleans with religious imagery from San Miguel in Mexico – the dueling iconographies of the two places I call home. I have no final judgment to make on the subjects. Each expression is presented with its consolations and its cruelties. They are what they are, and hopefully, the viewer finds something in them that speaks to what they themselves may have experienced, needed, or felt.”
