Deity II

Wax, antique textiles, doll form, brass wire & fire, 19” x 13” (Figure), Private Collection

I imagined a medieval Crusader when creating this piece. A non-gender specific Crusader wearing an armored breastplate, meant to reshape the narrative on identification and self-expression. I photographed this deity in front of an antique painting, which on the whole, captures the mood of the Crusader.
