Duke Divinity School History Panels (Spring 2012)

Over the past couple of years, I've gotten pretty handy with GiMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program-- pretty much a poor man's Photoshop). Part of my job over the past year has been the construction of a series of photographic history panels for Duke Divinity School using this program, and I think the results turned out pretty well. The original files are far too large for the blog, but here is a version with lowered resolution:

These panels represent (from left to right): The Founding of Duke University School of Religion, Duke Chapel, the Gray Building, York Chapel, the Langford Building, Goodson Chapel, and the Westrbook Building. Note the alternating pattern of architectural/academic panels with open spaces of worship.

Also, here are a few photos of the installation:

For any potential employers out there interested in viewing full resolution digital copies of these images, feel free to contact me, and I'll be happy to send samples your way.

How This All Got Started

Back in the summer of 2004, a friend dared me to find a use for a 1,000 pack of post-it notes, and with a little help from a lecture on iconography, I did! The very first "Post-It Note Jesus" mosaic was born, assembled on my closet door at Emory University.

Since then, I have worked to hone the medium, adding in elements of stenciling and computerized graphic design (both of which were taught to me by my friend Jeremy Sher). This website will serve as an archive of some of my work over the years in post-its and other media. I hope you'll enjoy taking a look at some of this material!
