Sacred Heart Jesus
Chains, both metaphoric and literal, repeat throughout the collage print, “Sacred Heart Jesus.” The similarly named Catholic devotional, and its associated iconography, serve as the foundation of the work, with imagery of chains nodding to the required adherence of religious belief and practice. Reference to nations and national bonds, through images of buildings and flags, reflect the chains of power and nationality and individuals shackled to the choices of elected officials. Power, like Jesus, is transfigured in this image, radiating from the central figure as a beautiful aura of jewels, gift wrap bows and maggots - a testament to the rot of unquestioned belief in our predominant power structures.
