aesc/uord

By  Brighid Black 2013

Brighid Black

Aesc/uord was produced in 2013 in response to the return of the Lindisfarne Gospels to the North East of England. The work is intended to explore the tensions between pagan and Christian ideologies and beliefs in the years when the Gospels were written. Old Northumbrian runes and Anglo-Saxon text from St.John's Gospel in the Lindisfarne Gospels represent this conflict and its relationship to the body, particularly the female body.
