Jesse Bransford, The Seven Seals (John the Revelator), 2007 |
52.
JOHN THE REVELATOR BY BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON, 1930 REMIX: JESSE BRANSFORD, THE SEVEN SEALS (JOHN THE REVELATOR), 2007 Bransford explains his approach: "Taking cues from representations of the Book of The Revelation of St. John The Divine I chose two images common in these visualizations, the seven stars representing the revelation of the seven seals/agents of the apocalypse and the sword, representing the Word of God made manifest. Arraying the stars in a geometric pattern, a new relation between them can be felt, a relation I sought to highlight by placing seals of the seven planetary forces from the occult tradition over the geometric pattern derived. This new relation for me brings some of the ideas of interest to Smith and his contemporaries in ‘folk music’ to light." Jesse Bransford is a New York based artist. He lives in Brooklyn and works in Queens. www.sevenseven.com/bransford |
