I'm very excited to show a new sculpture as part of ~Bäckahästen~, an offsite group exhibition located on the mystically surreal and uncanny island of Muskö, Sweden. (Full documentation on their page)

Bäckahästen

This island used to be an enchanted place before the military erected their hideous base upon the hillside. Paranoid about their enemies in distant lands - they didn’t listen to us when our children went missing. It was the opulent glow on the water's edge. A grim beacon on a moonless lake at midnight.

The spirit of the water is a psychopomp, a trickster. A devil in the depths. She rides out atop the waves to snatch our kin from the seashore. Calling out like a siren to the lonely youth, misplaced and wandering; longing to belong. The brook horse has a back that stretches far so she can carry as many babes as she wants. Bound to eternal currents, she drags them down below.

The island is our fief and our bloodlines pay for clean water and safe passage. But for all our wards and changelings, our traps and trinkets fail. Keep away from the gun fire and the base upon the hill; and watch for Bäckahästen on the seabed and the shore.

The Slaughtered Lamb
21.10.22 - 13.11.22

The ‘sacred corner’, is a small worship space found in the homes of Orthodox Christians in the Slavic nations. Private devotion and liturgy become inseparable in this humble dwelling. The house acts as a temple and the centre of worship becomes the scared corner. Here, the gallery becomes the temple and the artworks presented in the exhibition form their own locus of devotion.

The Slaughtered Lamb is a site for the creation of the anti-myth. An exhibition where artworks become objects of worship not for religious purpose, but for queer ecological understanding and growth. Using esoteric symbolism and medieval aesthetics, the works emit a mantra of their own, resonating on the metaphysical, physical and astral plane. The Slaughtered Lamb brings together works that resist normative interpretations of the landscape, heraldry, and contemporary art.

One month ago (from 26th September to 7th October) I had the pleasure to take part in an exhibition organized by @____kruger____ in Stockholm. The name and the theme of the exhibition was “Hagazussa”:

“The 2nd exhibition by Kruger, takes its name from the gothic horror film Hagazussa, the word itself meaning ‘witch’ in high German. The film, shot in the romantic landscape of the Alps in the 15th century, follows the life of Albrun, a young goat herder who becomes a pariah after her mothers death and is subsequently abused by society in various ways. This leads Albrun to exact vengeance in her own subtle ways, forage for herbs and psychedelics, and later consorting with a demonic entity. The film rejects the traditional and exaggerated cinematic traits of depicting women and witches as evil, monstrous beings. Instead Hagazussa shows us the horror of society, its demonisation of women and Albrun’s reclamation of her womanhood and her surroundings.”

Thank you @euronymous_bosch for inviting me! It was lovely to exhibit alongside you and other artists whom I cherish.

Hagazussa
23.09.22 - 07.10.22

The second exhibition by Kruger, takes its name from the gothic horror film Hagazussa, the word itself meaning ‘witch’ in high German. The film, shot in the romantic landscape of the Alps in the 15th century, follows the life of Albrun, a young goat herder who becomes a pariah after her mother's death and is subsequently abused by society in various ways. This leads Albrun to exact vengeance in her own subtle ways, forage for herbs and psychedelics, and later consorting with a demonic entity. The film rejects the traditional and exaggerated cinematic traits of depicting women and witches as evil, monstrous beings. Instead, Hagazussa shows us the horror of society, its demonisation of women and Albrun’s reclamation of her womanhood and her surroundings.

The same reclamation can be found within the exhibition with nods towards feminist occult practice, female jouissance and neo-mystic symbolism. How do we internalise the natural world and birth an expression of the female essence that resides within nature's chaos. You were invited here by the jester incarnate for a communal rite, masquerading as an art show. Her works are intimate, whispering secrets and heretic folk tales with veiled meanings. Whether its painting in human blood or besmirching bible quotes, we hope to create a subtle blasphemy and sully this white with Hagazussa’s colours.
