Queen
Of Heaven (Words
Made Flesh)
Queen
of Heaven incorporates
the words from ancient religious texts worshipping
Ishtar, Isis, and Juno, through early Christian doctrines, Gothic
mysticism,
Renaissance poetry, to the present day church proclamations and
appearance
testimonies around the Virgin Mary. The
words have been burned into the fabric.
The earliest texts begin on the lowest ruffle and work upward
chronologically to create a lily plant.
The words and floral shapes have been dusted over with colored
pigments
evoking the shimmer of a stained glass window.
