Light as Air
A standing goddess being, who holds within her mantle an inner altar/offering bowl, with it's own little stand. Created from crank clay to withstand weather.
Her cloak of protection, carved with a nine petalled mandala, decorated with coloured slips and oxides.
She embodies reverence and humility to the flow of Life, while standing strong and resilient within.
'Offering Goddess'
This recent commission is an Offering Goddess. Her bowl waits to recieve offerings of food, fire, incense or water.
A beautiful practice held in many cultures, is to offer a little portion of each meal to the spirits. To the unseen presence of guides and helpers, in gratitude for All We Receive.
This ritual helps me connect more deeply with the things in Life that sustain me. It's very humbling!
