13 Moons.
This art series explores my journey to reconnect to my menstrual cycle, my body and the Earth. Over the course of one year, I retreated into nature thirteen times for four days each time to learn how to listen to my body and the land. The thirteen artworks explore the messages that I received from each of my retreats.

About this collection
Historically, in cultures all over the world women saw themselves as deeply connected to the cycles and fertility of the Earth. A woman’s menstrual cycle was seen as sacred and she was connected to the physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions of her body. Her menstrual cycle was seen as a deeply powerful time when she could hear her inner voice most clearly and had the ability to communicate with the Earth and the Cosmos.
Currently, in many cultures all over the world women haven’t been mentored to understand and embody this powerful and sacred connection. This series is one woman’s journey to reconnect to this ancient way of knowing and being.
