Demon

As an example of how the physical materials used for art can sometimes suggest the actual subject of the piece, note the "sculpture" below:

Diamon (2000) (10 1/2" x 12" x 8")

mixed media on wooden hat mold

This old hat mold had the manufacturer's name incised on it: DIAMOND. By removing the final D, it became the anagram of DAIMON, which means "demon" in Greek. The New Testament accounts include several encounters of Jesus and the disciples with demons. Whatever we may think of demons today, it is hard to deny the very real presence of evil in the world--evil which can only be ultimately be overcome by love.
