Crone Series - the drawings

The ancient figure of the Crone once held knowledge of endings, transformation, and deep time. She was recognised in many aspects: as deity, seer, healer, creator, keeper of memory, trickster, and more. She was and still is the destroyer in service of renewal. She governs the necessary ending, the clearing fire, the winter that makes way for spring. In her body, death and rebirth are intimate companions. To call upon the Crone is to invoke that which doesn’t flatter nor beg permission, whose power is expressed in age.

But over the past millennia her vastness has been largely forgotten. The Crone has not disappeared, but she has been obscured - and yet she still endures.

The figures in my drawings carry this deep time within them. They rise from a lineage older than the hierarchies that tried to extinguish them. They stand as witnesses to cycles larger than culture and older than the world.
