Birthing a new civilization
760 x 760
Mixed Media - Paint, dress patterns, graphite, charcoal, metallic foil
SOLD
While creating this artwork I found a dressmaking pattern piece shaped like a cradle or crescent. My imagination was captured by the idea of a ‘cradle of civilization’ — a location where civilization is
understood to have emerged. A ‘fertile crescent’ is home to some of the earliest human civilizations, an area that is the birthplace of technology — innovations like writing, the wheel, agriculture, and the use of irrigation.
I drew a mythological woman, mother of all, birthing new worlds when old ones wither and die. She is featured in the ‘Agricultural panel (mid-left side).
