From the Blasphemous Saints series
A cloaked figure holds a cluster of disembodied eyes cradled in both hands, more emerging from beneath the folds of a deep blue robe, all set against a field of a warm golden background. The composition borrows the frontal stillness of a religious icon, the hand-crafted frame reinforcing the hagiographic register, while the subject it enshrines is not a saint's relic but a small mass of staring eyes.
The Blasphemous Saints are cloaked figures built around ideas Fisher finds herself unable to shake, urgent or inescapable. The Queen of Eyes carries the particular weight of being watched, the pressure to perform a life for an audience, and the quieter reality of surveillance as a constant background condition. The gold ground, typically reserved for icons and their divine subjects, is turned here toward something closer to an accusation than a blessing.
