Amos Eno Gallery presents the artwork of Steven Travis in the
exhibition "Hieroglyphic Collages" from May 27 to June 21, 2008. Four
large computer graphic works depicting hieroglyphs are generously
textured with collages of the artist's curious writing system and
illustration.
Since childhood, Steven has been strongly attracted to manuscripts. The
subject of this exhibit introduces his invented hieroglyphic language
called Tapissary, to which he has devoted 30 years. On each wall of the
gallery, one print of a hieroglyph hangs like a greatly oversized page.
Similar to the embellished initials of a medieval parchment, Steven
enjoys investing his symbols with detailed flourishes. He liberally
sews the seeds of image and text within the silhouette of each of the
four hieroglyphs until an energetic 'language-scape' is achieved.
