During this week’s group discussion at Summerhall, my project underwent a structural adjustment. Previously, I had used the narrative framework of “maiden—mother—crone” to explore the social issues women face at different stages of life.

The reasons for these changes are discussed in the later blog posts and critical reflection.]   My exhibition Under the Witch Moon centers on the theme of “witches,” using the iconic Triple Goddess symbol from Wicca and feminist mysticism as its […]
