Come and teach us your ways of Wisdom
Calligrapher: Quincey, Alan
Artist's statement: Part of the work seeks an experience of the abstract qualities of letter arrangement, a flirtation with the name 'Adonai' (Lord) and the ineffable Tetragrammaton (YHWH, JHVH). Old postage stamps refer to the 'kings' in the text.
