"[The] Witches of the Wheel have the ability to summon the forces of Nature. The Golem is a most powerful Earth elemental, yet in London, Nature can be surprisingly twisted. 'Corrupted', as the most conservative Ancestors would say. Nonetheless, a few bold witches led by Nibaba claim that the city's singularity is to be used against the enemies of Nature. Raised from the pavement and the sewers, the Golem is the massive, fearless assertion of that radical strategy."--Smog 1888
Cris took a multi-media approach to this challenging piece, using acrylics, oils, and metallic powders to achieve the results before you. She also found period broadsheets on-line, reduced them in size, and stained them in tea (what else?
). The nameplate was modelled and lettered by her, and features Hebrew graffiti spelling "Golem". Finally, the activating word, "emet", in Hebrew, is perfectly legible on the tiny piece of parchment spiked to the top of the Golem's head.Steampunk is alive and well in the Rodríguez-Foley household!!!
ENJOY!!!
