SIMON GLASS

Professor Simon Glass’ Administrative Leave presentation consists of a review of some reading and research as well as landscape photographs from a trip to Iceland. He presents his studio work, a suite of twelve giclee collages. These collages comprise concrete poetry based on the book of Isaiah chapter 24, verses 1-12, restoring some of the poetry to the text – poetry that translation most often overlooks. Professor Glass also addresses some of the ambiguities of tense in the Hebrew biblical verb through an annotated translation of the text into English.
