Description
Bones scattered across the desert landscape hold secrets and stories of the past. In "Mystic Bones", Professor Mark C. Taylor explores the significance of these remnants, combining his fascination with photography to capture their beauty and essence. Through close-up images of weathered bones, paired with philosophical aphorisms, Taylor reveals the paradoxical nature of bones - both our substance and our final remains. He meditates on how natural processes can be thought of as art, and bones as art objects, drawing us elsewhere into ageless times and open spaces where everything familiar becomes strange. By revealing beauty in unexpected places, these haunting images refigure death in a way that allows life to be seen anew. A personal statement of after-God theology, "Mystic Bones" is a bold new work from a respected philosopher of religion.
