Twenty-sixth Series: Subway Saints, NYC edition 20, "e" edition 50. People riding the subway are in an ethereal acquiescent perfect state. They are waiting with great faith to be taken to their destination and are calm and quiet during their journey – for the most part. While sitting across from them I was inspired to photograph some of the more beatific and make them into art. For this series I took their faces and sewed them into a book of hours accordion style book. This series consists of a 2 x 1 x ¾ inch clear or colored plastic box, my printed photographs, images stolen from art history, rice paper, beads, glitter, a magnet, and thread. They will be placed from January 15-February 7, 2011 in New York. A special "e" edition of the saints will be placed in Paris and London from March 25-April 4.
