River Beneath The River

‘River Beneath The River’ – I know this place.

‘Each woman has potential access to Rio Abajo Rio, this river beneath the river. She arrives there through deep meditation, dance, writing, painting, prayermaking, singing, drumming, active imagination, or any activity which requires an intense altered consciousness. A woman arrives in this world-between-worlds through yearning and by seeking something she can see just out of the corner of her eye. She arrives there by deeply creative acts, through intentional solitude, and by practice of any of the arts.’ – Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype.

A Little to the Right

Catriona Pollard — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 06:43:58 +0000

I think sometimes we think our lives should be a little to the left, or a little to the right. That the path we are on isn’t correct/right/happy/true/easy. But that’s not always the case. We step forward on our path without expectation but with hope.

Materials: vine + red hot poker

Soul Story

Catriona Pollard — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 06:42:17 +0000

I was reading an article about the amazing Vanessa German and she talks about what remains in a persons soul. I woke up to this form in my mind. My grandmother was from NZ.

It represents the moko kauae – the traditional female New Zealand Māori chin tattoo which is considered a physical manifestation of the woman’s true identity.

Recently Nanaia Mahuta became the first member of parliament in the world to wear a moko kauae.

My new body of work is about hope. And through the brutality of invasion hope remains. And as non indigenous person I’m so thankful for the resilience of all indigenous peoples.

Reflections of Hope

Catriona Pollard — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 06:34:59 +0000

Where there is hope there is despair just as where there is moonlight there is sunlight; daylight and dark skies. While one does not necessarily reflect the other, they live together side by side.

Materials: vine + lomandra + gymea lily
