	        	            Paint on canvas and wood, stitched drawing on transparent fabric overlay, sculpted clay vessel, copper 30”H x 11”W x 4”D 2000
		<p style="text-align: center;">The central painting is of the Creatrix, the darkness moving on the face of the deep, the Black Madonna. She is overlaid by a drawing depicting the outline of a Neolithic Maltese temple, as seen from above, stitched on transparent fabric. The lobed shapes of the megalithic temples resemble the bodies of women bringing forth new life. Below her is a painting of a clay figure of a dreaming woman, found in the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum, from 3300 BCE  The Hypogeum temple is completely underground, carved from the living bedrock. The painting of the dreaming figure is overlaid with a drawing, stitched on transparent fabric, of red spirals like those found painted on the walls of the Hypogeum, deep beneath the earth. In the arch above, I painted an oculi altar from a Maltese temple, with an offering.  In front of the altar is a clay pot, a miniature of a large vessel found in the megalithic temple at Tarxien,, dated 3000-2500 BCE. I lined the tiny pot with red ochre, an ancient offertory substance.  </p>

		<h4>Abstract</h4><p>This presentation was part of the <em>From the Realm of the Ancestors: Language of the Goddess</em> conference sponsored by the Women’s Spirituality Program at CIIS (June 12-14, 1998 at Cowell Theatre, Fort Mason in San Francisco) in honor of the pioneering archeologist Marija Gimbutas. The conference focused on the necessity of refocusing our collective memory, and to the cultivation of vision, creativity, insight, and the celebration of life. The conference was moderated by Joan Marler and featured presentations by scholars and artists who acknowledge the significance of Dr. Gimbutas’ research and theories. Gimbutas’ discovery of Goddess-centered, matristic societies that preceded the development of patriarchy in Europe has initiated a new perception of European prehistory that challenges traditional assumptions about the origins of western civilization.</p>
