Resurrecting Sovereignty is an immersive visual and sonic pilgrimage through nine Sacred Archetypes.
Walk the ancient pathways of the Goddesses of Love and War as they rise across civilisations and echo through time.
Witness their evolution.
Feel their remembrance.
Reclaim the power that has always been yours —
your Divine Sovereignty.
The whole exhibition is created as a Rites of Passage where you move through a cycle of reclaiming the wild nature of your Soul, back from the mind made world of modern-day life with all its burdens and complexities. A doorway is opened to connect into the language of the Goddess and a lost ancient knowledge that activates a new level of Feminine Consciousness awake inside of you.
Birds play a pivotal part in the exhibition as you connect with the ancient veneration of birds as divine messengers and the symbolic language of the ancient Bird Goddess, who is also known as the Great Goddess. In many mythologies with Gods and Goddesses from around the world birds play an important part in the imagery and symbolism. In this exhibition each Goddesses has a ‘Totem Bird’ woven into the artwork with her.
In our modern day lives we have lost our connection to the pulse and rhythms of the earth and to the way the Goddess speaks to us through nature, and all Her beings. Through the rocks, the stones, the trees and all Her creatures. Through the wind, the sun, the moon and the stars and the many great Beings embodied in the land. This exhibition is in honour of the Great Goddess, the Divine Feminine principal that sustains, nurtures and shapes our lives yet whose reverence is lost from our daily lives and conscious awareness.
