Burlington Potters Guild member, Nikola Wojewoda has an exhibition of works in clay and paper collage from Feb 23 to Sept 05 at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery, 25 Caroline Street North, Waterloo.
In Garden of the Gods, Nikola Wojewoda takes us on a botanical journey into the world of powerful hallucinogens. Her decorative plates pay tribute to the ancient use of these sacred plants. Their psychoactive properties transport the mind into altered states of consciousness, where transformative encounters with the Divine provide insights into the nature of reality and the self. Wojewoda’s interests lie in considering how these prehistoric experiences have shaped religious and philosophical thought, and the understanding of our complex human nature. Her paper collages are of gods, some virtuous and some not, that we may encounter in hallucinogenic trance.
