This is my latest artwork „Die Geweihte“ - „The Antlered One“.

I‘ve always wanted to work with an original animal skull. The roebuck skull was quickly illuminated with flickering bulbs and LEDs and the horns were gilded with metal leaf.

But I was missing the right body for my assemblage. When my artist friend Heiko Palach gave me the 80-year-old battered doll‘s body, I let my creativity flow.
In one week, all the parts magically came together. I was in the flow and I fell completely in love with my creation.

An ancient-looking cloth doll of a woman, crowned with a gilded antler. Her fiery eyes glow with hidden power, as if she carries the spirit of old rituals and silent gods.

Materials:

• Roebuck skull
• Metal leaf for gilding
• Doll's body from the 1940s
• Flickering glow bulbs
• LED bulb
