This is a new group of collages called the Witches Sabbath.
Inspired by “The Sorceress” an ancient Greek poem by Theocritus, which recounts
the story of Simaethea, a woman who turns to witchcraft after being spurned by
her lover, and the Greek Magical Papyri, ancient Greek manuscripts containing magic
spells and rituals. These texts came to me by way of a beautiful book by
Octavio Paz on Love and Eroticism:
“Eros is a divinity that merges darkness with light, matter
with spirit, sex with idea, the here with the there.”
-Octavio Paz
