“Sitting by the Well”
Kobo Chika Gallery Tokyo
06-27.04.2024
“Sitting by the well” takes poetic inspiration from writings by Marion Woodman Jungian analyst, poet and writer. Symbolically well holds crucial significance of water, source of life, knowledge, wisdom, and all that is unconscious. Wells are often depicted as entrances to other realms or as portals between the earthly and spiritual worlds. They can symbolize transitions or passages from one state of being to another. This transformation is crucial to our existence on biological level, as well as psychological. A change that allow us to look in to the past as well, as to the future, the one that helps to evolve, but usually frighten us the most.
For this exhibition, artist Ewelinna Skowrońska utilizes natural plant dyes and silk to create a multilayered installation that will fill the gallery space. Drawing from the transmutative power of plants, the artist brings together all earthly elements to engage in an alchemical dance. The colors of nature, revealing themselves in hues of pinks, violets, and reds, compel us to feel and reflect deeply.
Come and sit with us by the well.
