Nun-Cardinal

This was my first assignment at MIAD. I had wanted to do something like this for a long time, and am still fond of the idea. It was for a class on social commentary, but I really just wanted to make this image. Not that I was lacking at all for topics to bullshit meaning from come critique-time, mind you. I mean, come on: Lesbian catholic clergy-persons making out hardcore on top of torn bible pages. I could have bullshat for the entire class period.

Actually, those aren't bible pages. They're photocopies from a copy of the Book of Mormon that my friend Jonah gave me before I moved away. He isn't a Mormon anymore, and they still look like bible pages.

I think I want to redo this, though I'm not sure how. I still really like the idea, and have improved since I did doing this.
I had to explain to nearly half the people in my class what a Cardinal was eccuminically. Then I had to explain what a cardinal was ornithologically, and that they were both red. This made me sad.

Additional note: This is a photograph of the actual piece, which would have been hell to scan. I plan to photoshop out the carpet, but I plan to do a lot of things. Mostly, I just end up playing World of Warcraft, so don't hold your breathe.
