Jesus Trilogy and Coda

Jesus Trilogy and Coda

The Jesus Trilogy and Coda is composed of the four following parts: (1) IN JESUS NAME presents an almost continuous fluttering movement midst the complexity of multiple small shapes in mostly autumnal colors, like unto a wind moving through fall leaves. (2) THE BABY JESUS begins with pearl-pinks and gold-flecked shapes midst 'garden greens'. (3) JESUS WEPT utilizes a variety of shapes and colors so fretted and interlocked with darkness as to create the sense of a glamorous terror within which palpable shapes of 'tears' appear and weave a counterbalance of sorrowful calm. (4) CODA: CHRIST ON CROSS contains the most easily nameable of all the shapes in this trilogy: it is, thus, an aesthetic 'summing-up' with full emphasis upon the crucifixion which is visible again and again as a mass of twisting lines and tortured forms, flecked with vermillion blood-likeness. Optical printing by Brakhage and Mary Beth Reed.
