OBJECT #7 (AVATAR OF THE MOTHER MACHINE GODDESS)

by James Marks
MEDIUM Wood, machine, and drywall screws; recycled wire

At the age of three, my face was electrically burned. Scars, along with Autism and bullying, led to a life filled with more books than friends. I read the stories of dead faiths and the scriptures of every religion I could find. From these myths and fables, I fashioned a denomination suited for the unnatural world I live in. The Mother Machine Goddess is one of the deities of this personal pantheon. Seldom do I offer prayers or sacrifices, but her hand guides me. Touch Her with reverence and leave some small token of respect if you seek Her protection.
