Voices and Visions of the Witch 

Visual and Literary Art Exhibition

by the Creative Coven

 

A collection of multi-media art, poetry and prose curated by Rowan Morrison, with work from a coven of artists whose creativity weaves remembrance of the barbarous Scottish witch hunts.

 

Partially composed of persona poems and narrations from the otherworld, it recounts the suffering endured by those accused of witchcraft. These are offered without ‘factual’ commentary to allow the audience to interpret this dark period, without the bias of a history written by the patriarchal elite. This method aims to unveil aspects of the human soul by resurrecting experiences of the witch hunts to give an intimate voice to the voiceless.

 

The accompanying eclectic artwork includes a seven-foot wicker devil who awaits your shameful kiss, intuitive multi-media pieces such as the emotive Maiden, Mother and Crone sculptures, the large-scale Burning Witch painting, a miniature coven of 13 Witch Children, archetypal watercolours and transformational art pieces in glass bottles. The Red Thread of Persecution will take you on a dark journey through the smouldering abyss of the burning times, to view the channelled portraits and death masks of accused witches.

 

Pieces inspired by the Unknown Witch project and the Linen Memorial of Witch Persecution in Scotland will be on show. These hallowed panels which contain almost four thousand names, lay bare the scale of injustice endured by the daughters and sons of this green and purple land.

 

This innovative visual and literary art exhibition will take you back to a time when the skies above Scotland were lit with flames, fuelled by the flesh of burning women.

WITCHES OF CULROSS - AMAZON BOOK REVIEW

This book is a very powerful read. It truly brings alive the terrible time of the witch trials in a visceral way as it not only brings to life the harsh realities of life in those times but also the unforgivable injustices that happened against the accused. It is a story that has long needed to be told and very much needs to be read. The storytelling is vivid and also beautiful as it captures some of the old ways and language of rural Scotland in its telling. I couldn't put it down until I finished it. This really is a must read book.
