First Apology Against The Pagans (2019-2021)

supercha.in/first-apology-against-the-pagans

The First Apology is the launch collection of 999 works on Superchain; the fruits of almost 3 years of daily commitments.

I plan to elaborate on the creative process, purpose, and history of these works in a series of articles here. For now, the link above goes to my original artist's statement on Superchain after the final work in the collection, "Revelation X:XX" (喜999), was completed. This provides an overview of the theological, cryptographic, semiotic, and numerological themes in the collection.
