“Out with the old, in with the new,” as the old saying goes. The old white, patriarchal version of God delivering the ultimate repudiation of humankind is not without significance. It is this sexist, ethnocentric image of God that is being questioned in this painting. This distorted image of God as the old white man, is part of what has led us to the brink of disaster. Finally, our naive notions of God as the great paternal overseer are being called into question. And yet the face of God contains the full spectrum of known colors. The entire color wheel is represented. Since we are all made in the image of God, I wanted to reflect all colors and varieties which emanate from our kind but impartial Father. The image of God is left unfinished, as if to suggest God Himself is an invention of man.
