Goddess

A magnificent new Swoon print. It’s pasted over a very angular surface, I hope to find one pasted onto a flat surface. Swoon doesn’t publicly name her pieces. I was going to dub it "Domestic Goddess," because of the hanging laundry and the woman sweeping at the base. But there’s a lot more going on here, war death and disaster are swirling around the head. “Goddess” alone is more appropriate. Maybe Shiva. It’s printed on Chinese newspaper, pasted together to form a large enough sheet. You need a strong design to hold up against such a background.
