Our Artists' Statement

The ‘Seven Deadly Sins’, also known as the Cardinal sins, are a series of seven objectionable vices that have been used in Christianity since early times to shape and educate individuals concerning individual tendencies to sin. Wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy and gluttony serve as the ideas that capture mortals and lead to the destruction of grace. After splitting up the different topics, each person in our group took their own individual spin on there meaning of the word. Whether the image taken was captured on a spur-of-the-moment whim or plotted ahead of time, each artist thought well past the basic connotation of their sin and emphasized they’re own personality and vision of art.

Sloth

Photograph by :  Eric X. Bracamonte

"Get your lazy a** up".  My interpretation of the sin Sloth.  It is obvious that this photograph
was staged.  I wanted to portray the different aspects of someone who commits the sin sloth,
someone who is lazy but takes it to the extreme.  I wanted to put a sense of time in the
photograph that would add to the viewers overall perception, so I added a giant clock showing
the time of past 3 in the afternoon.  The various objects and props were added to the photo merely
as a way to show the abundance of laziness.  Overall I think this representation of Sloth is very
accurate and demonstrates the book definition as well as my own interpretation very well.
