This work in progress consists of illustrations for thirty-two of Blaise Pascal's "Pensées." Pascal, who lived in the 17th century, spent his life working on what was to be a comprehensive defense of Christianity. The work was never completed, and what remained upon his death was basically a box-full of scraps and sometimes sheets of notes. The fragments assembled by editors and called the "Pensées" range from brilliant stand-alone aphorisms to lengthy apologies for Christian doctrine; from the parsing of Biblical minutiae to puzzling pronouncements. These pieces are explorations of how an image can flesh out a piece of text, be it a straight visual interpretation, an attempt to add another dimension to the thought expressed, or an ironic commentary.
