Judith Laura has created a three part series, or triptych, inspired by the text “The Thunder: Perfect Mind,” from the 4th century C.E. manuscripts unearthed in the 1940s usually called the Nag Hammadi Library, and usually classified as Coptic Gnostic, an early Christian sect. The Thunder scripture is often considered an exception to this classification. It contains no specific Christian, Jewish, or Gnostic allusions and scholars find that because of the concepts of immanence and other factors it does not fit as easily into the Gnostic category as the other texts. Its narrator is apparently a female deity, possibly called Thunder, which in Greek is a feminine noun. Scholars have remarked upon the similarity between statements in Thunder and previous Goddess texts, especially those of Isis. The text contains two different forms: seemingly paradoxical “I am “ proclamations, and reprimands for apparent moral or ethical failures. In her art, Judith Laura has chosen to focus on the apparently paradoxical statements. The background of all three panels is deep violet.
Panel 1: “I Am,” is inspired by the group of antithetical statements near the beginning of the manuscript. Judith Laura presents these antitheses as units, and in one case, one figure represents both opposites. The three Coptic Greek letters: Alpha, Omega, and Tee portray the assertion of being “the first and the last.” The words of the text appear as a lightning bolt. This panel is horizontal. Background of digital original is deep violet but may vary slightly in reproduction.
