Sinossi
John Ransom Phlllips: A Contemporary Book of the Dead charts and affirms the Egyptian tradition of preparing for the afterlife by celebrating our earthly existence in all its fullness. Using watercolors on papyrus - an echo of the Book of the Dead incantations written on papyrus scrolls buried with mummies in ancient Egypt - this collection of colorful paintings creates a contemporary interpretation of how human beings contemplate their earthly and spiritual existence. Phillips's work is a vivid visual exploration into universal and timeless themes of life, love, fear, hope, and sublime happiness that combine into the human experience.
Commentaries by authors Zahi Hawass and Wendy Doniger place the images in historical and spiritual context with the ancient texts and argue that his body of work is a continuation of the celebration of life, rebirth, and transformation.
