I reference the Sheela-na-Gig, a mysterious fertility figure found across medieval Europe, celebrated for her yonic power. From her form emerges a cascade of cranberries, created using an image transfer from a photograph I took during the harvest at my family’s cranberry farm. This work, created during an artist residency in the wine-rich Piedmont region of Italy, draws parallels between the agricultural fertility of the area and my origins on New England cranberry bogs. The title Spumadonna merges the Italian word for “bubbling” (spumante, as in sparkling wine) with “woman,” encapsulating the interplay of abundance, effervescence, and femininity.
