The Revelation (of Saint John the Divine)

In about thirty startling black and white drawings with collage, Natalie d'Arbeloff creates the sense of a powerful current sweeping through the book, the words sometimes floating up, magnified, sometimes completely submerged but still present beneath the surface. Rather than being an illustrated Revelation, d'Arbeloff's version is a bold attempt to capture the experience of seeing these devastating visions as the Prophet himself might have experienced them. While remaining faithful to the text, the artist takes some liberties with it, repeating certain words or re-arranging them on the page within the images.
