The Witches Sabbath

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

Apollo and the Oracle

This is from a series of "free" collages that are applied directly onto the walls of the space. The title  of piece was inspired by one of the explanations that the ancient Greeks had for the Oracle of Delphi. The theory was that Apollo breathed directly into the vagina of the Oracle and that was how she received divine information.
