(beeswax, textiles, wood, wire, dziewanna plant (verbascum thapsus)

a part of the ‘uroczysko’ series

sculpture is based on a re-written polish folk story connecting the typically opposite figures of marzanna (winter goddess) and dziewanna (summer goddess) and joining them in marriage, symbolised by korowaj (traditional wedding bread). 
basing its structure on christian church elements (altar, communion bread, candles, holy water stoup), it is an altar for lesbian romance and the continuous cycle of seasonal changes, where opposing forces dissolve into renewal, intimacy, and the rhythmic core of nature.
