Days
of the Week Paintings
(2007-08),
7 paintings nested in one another and diminishing in scale.
Silkscreen on raw and gessoed canvas. Edition of 2 each with one artist
proof.
Dimensions variable (largest 68 x 68 inches)
Each painting represents a day
of the week, and is intended to hang on the wall in a single spot, removing
a painting to represent each day as necessary. The image is a depiction
of the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel
announces to the Virgin Mary that she is to conceive a divine child. In
this version, that act is constituted as one of ex-post facto “non-consensual”
sex with a minor, which in this day and age would be constituted as rape.
The text scroll in each painting differs and is the sequential lyrics
to the chorus of the Nirvana song Rape Me.
