STREGA

THIS MINIMAL SERIES OF SCULPTURES AND COLLAGES PAYS HOMAGE TO SILVIA FEDERICI'S CALIBAN AND THE WITCH. THE COLLECTION AIMS TO RECLAIM THE AUTHORITY WOMEN HELD IN SHAPING REPRODUCTION, LABOUR, COMMUNAL LIFE, HERBALISM, AND HEALING — ROLES SYSTEMATICALLY DISMANTLED THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WITCH ARCHETYPE IN THE MIGRATION TO CAPITALISM.

THE COLLECTION IS A CELEBRATION OF THE GROTESQUE AND THE ABSURD. FEATURING INTERACTIVE TOTEMS AND SYMBOLIC EROTICISM, STREGA INVERTS THE HISTORICAL CHARGES OF HYSTERIA INTO SYMBOLS OF STRENGTH. WE ARE INVITED TO REJECT THE STERILITY OF MODERN DESIGN - THESE ARE CHARGED OBJECTS, MADE TO BE INTERACTED WITH, DISMANTLED, USED IN RITUAL, AND KEPT AS A REMINDER OF ANCIENT AGENCY.
