EVE
Like a modern chef, I
collect leaves, feathers, mushrooms, branches and everything to 'my
taste' in my direct surroundings to use in my work. Eve is about Mother
Earth, giving and nurturing life. About female and spiritual wisdom. My
youngest sister who is a mindfulness teacher and psychiatrist told me
once if you find a feather on your path this shows, that you are on the
right track. A feather brings luck.
The feathers in Eve & Adam are in honour of Indigenous people like Yanomamo and Kayapo for their relentless effort to protect the Amazon. Feathers in honour of Maori in New Zealand, fighting 150 years for their Whanganui river to be protected by law to have the same rights as humans. In 2017, they succeeded, and their story is beautifully captured in the documentary. 'I am the river, the river is me'. Showing that when nature is not healthy, we as humans cannot be either. To take care of nature is to take care of ourselves, as we are part of nature. 'EVE' is part of a diptych and belongs to the work ‘ADAM’.
Energy, wisdom, force, and diversity, from both male and female sources, are equally important and needed for a balanced, better world.
