Third prize - Mixed Media doll catagory at Canadian Doll Artist Association conference May 2000.
This is a wall hanging and is made of assorted found fabrics and objects. It represents the Goddess Innana and her descent into the under world. She must remove all her possesions as she decends and is saved by an insect and is reborn.
For me this was a metaphor for chronic illness - one must let go of everything that made you ill before you can be reborn with the assistance of "healers".
