I’m making individual posts for my art pieces so I can better catalog them.
Lunar Life
Lunar Life honors the traditional Pagan phases of a woman’s life-Maiden, Mother, Crone. It also uses the Pagan symbol of the triple moon which represents the Goddess.
The Maiden is the top triple moon. She is a young girl dancing through spring. The trees and flowers are just beginning to bloom as is she. The spiral of life is in her chest since childhood is so full of emotional experiences.
The Mother is the middle triple moon. The woman is in the midst of her garden. Trees and flowers are in full bloom. The spiral is in her womb because she is creating.
The Crone is the last triple moon. The woman is floating upwards. The trees’ leaves have fallen and the flowers have died. The spiral is in her head because she is in the spiritual time of her life.
The branch atop echoes the trees in the moons. The ribbons tie the moons together as the phases of life are tied together.
For this piece I spun several of the yarns. Techniques used were needle felting, embroidery and hand sewing.
Lunar Life was featured in the 2009 Beyond The Fringe art show. It also won second place in the Embroidery Division at the 2011 Albuquerque Fiber Arts Fiesta. It is currently on display at Lori’s Yarn & Fibers in Taos.
The dimensions are 32″H x 18″W x 2″ D.
