At first glance, this artwork defies a clear medium and process. It appears to be embroidered or woven, made of mosaic, painted, or sewn. The colors are rich and the form is attractive. The viewer is inclined to step very close to examine the surface. The subject matter then becomes apparent.
Dominion theology/Dominionism and is a Christian political ideology that seeks to replace Democracy with a White Christian government. It is based on their understanding of biblical law (in that 'God grants Dominion over the earth").
The Chief Justice of Alabama, Tom Parker (2019-2025), believes that God created the Government and it is "heartbreaking that we have let it go into the possession of others". He and others have established that these 7 Mountains of US life must be taken over by White Christians: Education, Government, Family, Arts and Entertainment, Business, and Media.
