Fated
Fated is a series of sculptures that considers the significance of the Mythological Fates.
The Fates were powerful Goddesses who determined the destiny of each human, deciding when life was to begin and end. The Fates are represented in many polytheistic traditions: Greek, Roman, Norse, Old English, Celtic, Lithuanian and the Hittites. Presented as three sisters: the spinner who spins the tapestry of life, the allotter who measures the thread, and the third sister who cuts the thread, signifying death, and Athrpa: an Etruscan Goddess, who always carries a hammer and nail symbolising the irreversibility of death.
The works explore these Goddesses, and questions the ways in which belief in them was eradicated.
