PRIMORDIAL GUARDIAN ✦ SUMMONS COLLAB ✦ Premium T-Shirt

SUMMONS is a collection of spirits and energies crystallized into modern mixed media by Gerald C Fifield Jr. Both forward-facing and backward, SUMMONS draws from a wide variety of cultures, themes, and motifs with the intention of cultivating and communicating an identity for a universal human heritage.

• PRIMORDIAL GUARDIAN employs letterforms from Cyrillic, Coptic, and Arabic to silhouette the grid of a many-armed deity. The same letters that formed the many languages around the world, moving human society forward, ultimately lead to the invention of computers and now the digital representation of ancient beings depicted throughout history.
• The grid lines that make up the three-dimensional shape of the deity are representative of both its digital nature while donning its own fundamental form.
• Historically, many armed deities signify protection and mercy.
• Each of its limbs represents the many branches of knowledge, stemming from a single source.
• Symbolizing the union of analog and digital, eastern and western, past and future, as the edges of the canvas square the circle, a microcosm of the macrocosm. This piece displays a journey through the history of human communication as well as the intelligence contained within.
