Work from Holier Than Thou
“Holier Than Thou is a series composed of edited and overlapped candid images of religious iconography taken in the context where photography is restricted or forbidden. Describable as an act to control their reproduction and veneration as the church had previously held jurisdiction over the use of the colour blue and the reverence of gold. These communally available images, pieced together and raised in scale, are degraded as a result of their limitations.” –Conall McAteer
