The Goddess

In 2020 I was introduced to the work and life of Marija Gimbutas – archaeologist, linguist, mythologist, and folklorist specializing in goddess symbology and mythology. Influenced and guided by Gimbutas’ work, these projects explore feminist creation myths in relation to contemporary culture and politics: non-duality and embodiment practices, gender, death/burial rites and collective consciousness, and feminine/masculine archetypes, in particular the role of the mother.
