LEVIATHAN @ BUTCHER SHOP / DOGMATIC / 2005

Machined acrylic
18" diameter

The title of this work comes from a biblical term that can be interpreted as "all-consuming." I produced the piece for a show on the theme of Paganism, a topic which is often incorrectly reduced to something merely anti-Christian. Drawing upon both the modern and ancient use of the ram as a symbol, Leviathan points to the uneasy relationship between earth magic and oil dependency.
