The re-emergence of the Goddess greatly inspired the two-year creation process of the Goddess Triangle, a piece that celebrates the unique ability of women to bring forth life and the spiritual forces that are at play when such a step is taken.
The piece is 20 feet wide and 10 feet high, consisting of 9 individual paintings and surrounding sculpted elements. It is accompanied by a hypnotic sound mix made of trance music, intra-uterine heartbeats and the artist's voice reciting the many names of the Goddess. The ŒGoddess Triangle¹ was created over the course of several years with a total Œgestation¹ period of approximately two years.
The Goddess Triangle is based on the story of four women and their individual journey into motherhood. These stories tell us about creation from pure energy, the joy of carrying life, the strength, dignity and selflessness needed to become a perfect vessel for the new, and the physical as well as psychic bond between a mother and her child.
These women are the modern-day-Goddesses and this work explores the similarities that they share with ancient Goddess archetypes.
As the earthen figurines portraying the nature of the feminine have resurfaced in our consciousness, they might remind us of a time when life was considered sacred and the feminine principle was celebrated as miraculous.
The earth Goddesses surrounding the four Birthscapes are the artist's recreations of mostly paleolithic and neolithic archetypes and provide the framework for the Goddess Triangle. They form a connection with the ancient lineage of women who instinctively chose motherhood as an initiation into the higher realms of consciousness.
These Goddesses represent wisdom, grace, life-force and the powers of psychic knowledge, the very attributes of real life women.
Time and time again the feminine principle has produced the abundance of unlimited form that exists on this planet. And it is striking to realize how many cultures see the feminine as the source of all life.
Further images of fire, eggs, snakes and spirals are represented as ancient symbols of resurrection and renewal.
When we observe the monthly changes of women's bodies we can't fail but notice, how intimately they are connected with nature and the biorhythm of our planet with its moon phases, the ebb and flow of the waters, the seasons as well as life and death itself.
This multi-media-installation piece combines these elements of present and past in the hopes to help rebirth a new yet ancient energy in the hearts of the viewers. It wishes to inspire the will to care for, nurture and promote the rejuvenation of Mother Earth's life forces.
The artist would like to see our female history remembered and reintroduced into the history books, to restore the dignity of all people and bring the planet back into balance.
This is an altar to the female principle that has protected and cared for life as well as assured our peaceful and harmonious existence since time began.
