ABOUT THE ARTIST

My initiation into the mystical arts came about through a spiritual crisis in the form of a kundalini psychosis, which led me into the Ancient Priestess Temple Arts and the exploration of the repressed, dark divine feminine archetypes. From Magdalene to Ceridwen, or Isis to Lilith. Each archetype provides a transformational blueprint of full artistic embodiment when no stone is left unturned.

Walking the tightrope between trauma, psychosis and spiritual initiation, I explore themes related to transcendence, alchemy, and the sacred transmissions of the Black Madonna. My work draws on personal experience, particularly the intersectionality of race, gender, ancestral memory, and identity in a world that wars against the very nature of my divine feminine blueprint -  the Black Madonna.

The Void of the Black Madonna is a personal living archive of my multidimensional travel across space and time, weaving together the ancient priestess codes from various sacred sites, including the very Celtic lands of North Wales. This space is more than an exhibit - it is a portal that holds relics. 

Living architecture psychometry is my speciality when it comes to one of the many forms of grid work, ley line, and spatial alchemy that I do. I feel into the living architecture of spaces which beckon me to their ruin, asking to be emptied, veiled, or even rebirthed and curated with a new blueprint of divine intelligence. Particularly spaces that hold ancient energetic residue and emotional imprints that no longer serve the highest good of the living space. Spaces call me when it is time to be claimed by the Void of the Black Madonna.

As a planetary gridworker who absorbs the history of lands into the subtle energy centres of her body, and transmutes them into living architectures of ancient wisdom for legacy and preservation, the exhibit has become a space of sacred boundary. Only those who can meet the portal may enter and feel its inspiration. 

This space is ever evolving, ever growing, and communicates to me how it would like to express itself. I become a channel through which those sacred transmissions, in the form of art, are expressed. This exhibit is also a statement -  temple ruins and echoes when sacred architecture is not upheld with the dignity and reverence it deserves.

In devotion,
