About the art
Artist statement
Kutho takes inspiration from a Burmese notion of merit where devotees paste gold to their relics to gain merits towards a better reincarnation. Layers of centuries covering what lies beneath until losing shape. Gold and religion, an ancient relationship.
I'm interested in how an offering affirms the idea of a next life and empowers us by being used as a tool for that purpose.
The series talks about religion associated with power and the relationship between the visible -not visible, cult-occult and the parallels universes.
I use the same leaves as a stamp in my memory of the light reflecting those men who can touch the sacred. A grace that we women are forbidden to access.
