About the Artwork
Front Cover
Pegi Eyers, “Gather the Women,” 2012, 8 x 13″, embroidery on mixed media.
“The shared support and connection of other women allows us to heal from the patriarchy that has waged war on us for millennia, and joining together in the true spirit of sisterhood it is a revolutionary act. By forming diverse and powerful networks we enhance our own lives, our communities and the earth. The co-creation of women’s culture is a space where we can feel safe, celebrated and empowered, and when we gather together in circles of unity, miracles will happen.”
Back Cover
Pegi Eyers, “Earth Mother Motorcycle,”2010, 13 x 8”, mixed media assemblage.
“The Goddess Spirituality movement seeks to re-sanctify the natural places of the world and the attitudes and icons of our culture. Why not an Earth Mother on a motorcycle? Commemorative shrines and home altars venerating the Divine Feminine with ritual tools, candles, fruit, flowers and sacred objects are a tradition going back thousands of years. The Venus of Willendorf’s wild ride was painstakingly and reverently created with bits of cut paper, fabric and ephemera.”
As an Independent Curator, Pegi Eyers has developed exhibition projects with artist collectives and arts organizations, and has been employed as an Arts Publicist and Fundraiser. Her acrylic and oil painting, mixed-media assemblage, handbound artist’s books and intricate “cut paper” pieces have been exhibited in multiple galleries, solo and group shows. She lives in the beautiful Ontario countryside near the eclectic city of Peterborough. “My creative vision is connected to the sacred iconography of the Divine Feminine, and to express Her many forms in paint and mixed media. Currently I am writing a prose poetry series as inspired by the themes of women’s empowerment and matriarchal history.” Celebrating HER! Images that Empower Women and Honour the Divine Feminine <www.lyssanda-designs.com>.
