Asherah | The Queen of Heaven on life support. 2022.
24 x24 “ acrylic and graphite on wood panel.
This is the Queen of Heaven / divine consort of God that the biblical prophets railed against. Here she is surrounded by Egyptian Ka spirit & "false” doors representing the passage between the worlds of the living and the dead Qadesh and her lion have here morphed into a circus lion tamer.
She does photosynthesis. She makes copies of DNA. The tree leaves on the tubes reference the Canaanite’s sacred Asherah poles, erected near altars, one of the many ways they violated God’s command to have no other gods or to worship a created image (Ex 20:3-6)”.
