Calabash is a traditional magic vessel that represents the cosmic womb. With it, we direct our intentions to that which we want to "birth to life”. The origin of the body is our mother’s womb. I return to this safe place in nature and collaborate with her materials. Material comes from the word maternal. This work references the parallels between my own and Mother Earth’s feminine process.The images are documentations of performances made in the landscape. I then transferred these photographs onto dried calabash squash using the eco-friendly cyanotype process.
