100 terracotta goddesses made over 3 days in a fast, meditative process.
They celebrate strength, imperfection, pain and scarring, transformation and ageing. Through them I reframe the narrative surrounding women’s bodies. Each one is pocket sized – and yet as a group they are powerful. Representing both the multitude of experiences we collect over a lifetime, and our strength as groups and support networks.
I use the goddesses as a conversation starter with other women. We sit with them and let play and conversation unfold. This ongoing process has led me to women of diverse backgrounds and experiences and has created a space for women to muse on their complex relationships with their bodies.
