Eliza Linley has been comissioned specifically for Pisces Moon Productions' The Exonerated. Her new artwork will be premiered at the opening and forms an integral part of the play. She also did the painting of the flag used in the show logo above.
You previously saw her work on display at Pisces Moon Productions' The Last Days of Judas Iscariot. At the theatre you saw an installation of Stations of the Cross. Kindly on loan from the artist.
Eliza Linley is an Episcopal priest, artist and architect. Her work includes arts ministries and pastoral care, and focusing on the creative center where art and spirit meet. She writes, "this series is not a commission, but has come out of my own my own prayer life. Every year in Holy Week, Christians the world over gather and read the story of Christ's Passion. It's almost comforting that we re-enact the story, year in, year out. I wanted to explore what happens when this core narrative, which transcends its own time and place, is translated into our own vernacular. Not only does the imagery become much more visceral, it introduces more timely issues and calls us to contemplate the world's suffering, God's justice and mercy in the light of our own day."
Claudia McGill's work was used both as insipration for the set and specifically in the poster for Pisces Moon Productions' recent play The Last Days of Judas Iscariot.
Titled "Derelict Pier", this digital photograph was used in the poster and as inspiration for the backdrop of the play. Claudia writes, "She’s an artist whose works reflect her philosophy: "Give it a try and see what happens! You are looking at digital photos, digital photos that I've manipulated or enhanced in a way not usually done with traditional film photography, and digital drawings/collages. I have marked each one with some kind of definition, but digital work crosses boundaries among photography, collage, drawing, and -- I'm not sure what to call it, digital enhancements?"
