The Dead Will Rise is the last in the series I did during, and slightly after, my Residency at the McColl Center for Visual Art. It was inspired by a Medieval text on the signs of the last days. I realized that, as Medieval people looked to warning signs in nature, we also study nature to track global warming, pollution, extinction of species, disease, and more. The perfect city that the Dead rise toward is from an ideal city thought to be painted by Piero Della Francesca. This painting was included in Thresholds, an Exhibition of Spiritual Art organized by the South Carolina Arts Commission in 2003.
