Fire and Brimstone; A Portrait of A Nineteenth Century American Puritan.

I created this collage from a series of photographs I took of the original construction of an early colonial log cabin that was built in 1807. And It is the oldest remaining structure in Phillipsburg, Pennsylvania. It functioned as a bakery, a tavern, a school and a home.

To my surprise the raw, unvarnished material of unfinished wood and waddle and daub is reminiscent of the black and white paintings of two later American Abstract Expressionist artists , Robert Motherwell and Mark Rothko and the American sculptor, Louise Nevelson.
