Description
Artist and writer, Meg Hitchcock is interested in religion, psychology, and literature: “This poem by Walt Whitman describes the Christian deity in its fullness: Father, Son, Holy Ghost, and Satan. … the human spirit includes the shadow side of our nature; indeed, we are as much of the darkness as we are of the light. … To create the text of this poem, I cut the letters from an old German Bible, literally deconstructing the outdated theology and giving it a transcendent facelift.” Email from Meg Hitchcock, May 18, 2019.
