Description: Stylized iconograph of a high priestess morphed iconoclast Neo-Ikon (Neocon), namely George Bush with spirits Rumsfeld and Cheney gracing his holy shoulders, and holding who else but the innocent infant GW. The face of George Bush with a halo came from a Washington Post photograph taken by a French journalist pre-911, and is an amazing snapshot of our fine leader standing in front of a FEMA seal (he was delivering a speech), with the seal appearing to take on a corona with devil horns. The original photo was scanned and enlarged to become the head of the Neo-Ikon. The piece was inspired in part by a National Portrait Gallery 14th century oil painting of a religious high priestess icon. This depiction has some 15 or so stylized Christmas-calendar windows, each labeling a major category of scandal under the current administration. Each "window" has photos or other imagery signifying the category; for example, if you open the "Iraq War" window you will see an image of an Iraqi child whose face is literally melted in a fire-storm attack; another collateral damage victim. For each major Scandal section there are entires of text; some 400 altogether, in total, and counting! At the bottom of the image is stylized Greek lettering: Toto Terrorum.
