The text “replacement header” on an original blueprint inspired this piece which deals with art history “heads.” A Dutch Renaissance head of Christ replaces Da Vinci’s Renaissance man of perfect proportions and Durer’s perfectly proportioned head.
I have hand-applied a gold leaf over the man’s heart. The text reads “…but we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God.”
