Antoinette Ellis-Williams: God’s Eyes
This piece God’s Eye’s consists of digitized paper collages to create a one cohesive work. The woman’s eyes are the heart of the composition. She is God. The circular movement is female energy. Red pushes against and blurs the narrative of “heaven” and “hell”; “good” and “evil”; “birth” and “death” as constructive in Judeo-Christian iconology.
