16” x 20” x 3/4”

Original mixed media painting with acrylic, cloth, papers, threads, cord, and pencil on canvas.

TEXT BOOK is filled with text. The focal point of the painting is a 3 layered cloth book covered with decorative paper and text, in English, Sanskrit, and a bit of ancient Phoenician. The book along with 2 other elements (text strip and cloth square) are sewn onto the painted and textured background canvas.

The painting primarily displays the words of the Dalai Lama along with the mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, in Sanskrit and its English transliteration. I began this painting with the intention of focusing on text, keeping the color palette simple, and playing with the title, Text Book, as a play on words.

The sides of the canvas are painted to match the painting. It is signed and dated on the side of the canvas and inside the book.
