The Original Women: He Condemned Them

​

2021

 

This sculpture, surrounded in latex, human hair and gold leaf is a relic in honour of Lilith and Eve - the first women and wives of Adam, and the creators of original sin.

 

The glass spy hole is a space to view the relics of Lilith (made of clay) and Eve (made of rib), mimicking a sacred object found in the Catholic church. Except, this sacred object is a catalyst for conversation about the ways biblical women and feminine narratives  are misrepresented.
