GODDESS AND MUSE
“People often think of the Goddess as a fertility deity only. Not at all—she’s the muse. She’s the inspirer of poetry. She’s the inspirer of the spirit. So, she has three functions: one, to give us life; two, to be the one who receives us in death; and three, to inspire our spiritual, poetic realization.”
Goddesses: Mysteries of the Feminine Divine (The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell )
As a woman and an artist my coping with the accepted rules of beauty and aesthetics occurs as the elements break, merge, and reconnect. I explore the relationship between the goddess archetype and the effect it has on my life and the lives of woman around me.
Now I’m moving in my heart and my art, to the new woman.
From the ancient goddess through chaos and to a whole integrated new femininity.
My art path resonance with my inner spiritual evolution. The world is changing rapidly, on so many layers, from patriarchal culture consciousness to a profound woman, whom no longer needs the power of feminism to establish her presence in the main river of being.
The life force itself requires a change in the artist’s inner world. It is an uncompromising challenge to internal integrity, research, and spiritual integrity.
I’m in love with the concepts of womanly eternal beauty, the Goddess, nature, and power of the female. Art for me is a way of expressing truth, translating my soul evolution to time and space, transforming energy into form and color. It’s an impulse, a life force, which I drown to pass forward. I’m playing with a process of dressing and undressing layers of my fantasy world, all with my original photographs.
