"A visual representation of human disgrace and shame, a repository for our many faults."

Humanities inability to perceive the truth..."MURDERING GOD"

The mural photographed in Calcutta, (Kolkata) India during their yearly 1994 Kali Puja (festival) was originally captured on Kodachrome 25 ISO slide film. During the mural construction stage 1400 individual images were scanned, one image at a time, then printed to half scale 3"x4.5" and careful taped onto my studio wall creating the mural one tiny image at a time. This process slowly brought the image to life, ultimately leading to the creation of a work that vaguely resembled the reality that had been photographed. The file numbers on the back of the proof prints became a map of imagery to follow in the final construction. The mural is grouped into sixteen panels to handle the files in the computer and to facilitate printing on a 44" wide carriage printer.

The finished mural consists of sixteen separate panels, each is 42x72 inches or 107x183 cm in scale.

Every panel contains 56 - 6x9 inch or 15x23cm 35mm digitized Kodachrome 25 images.

The scale of the finished mural is, 14 x 24 ft or 4.2 x 7.2 meters.

The entire file size for this 16 panel mural is, 12.4 GB with a printing resolution of 300 DPI.
