ABOUT THE WORK
Artwork Description
A 10x8 mixed media collage presided over by a statue-like Gothic goddess.
Her fixed stare pierces through a world constructed from a layered 'veil' of assembled ephemera.
This textured background of hidden hands, relics, and anatomical fragments forms a dense, subconscious landscape over which she sovereignly rules.
Key to the Assembled Veil: Hidden Imagery & Suggested Meanings The background of the piece is a constructed tapestry of found images, each contributing to the theme of primal knowledge and sustenance.
Hidden Image Suggested Conceptual Meaning Hands holding grains/nuts A symbol of offering, nurture, and the fundamental harvest that sustains life.
The number '7222' on bone An archaeological relic; a catalog number from the past representing immutable truth, history, or a coded message from the ancestral world.
Medical illustration of an eye The act of perception itself—inner vision, knowledge, and the window to the soul.
A fossil or sinew cut-out A connection to deep time, primordial life, and the foundational structures of existence.
Tattooed skin imagery The marking of personal history and identity onto the flesh; the body as a recorded document.
1920S half-nude woman A timeless ideal of form, vulnerability, and raw, uncovered essence from a bygone era.
Horn or drum opening A vessel or conduit; a symbol of resonance, announcement, and the channeling of unseen energies.
Side view of a dark-haired woman An alternative perspective or a shadow self of the central goddess, observing the scene.
