The Corn Dolly Triptych - Exhibition
Channel: Letitia Hill
Date: 15/06/2021

The Corn Dolly Triptych is a homage to humans instinctual and compelling urge to merge with something greater than ourselves. Assembled from traditional materials of water reed and straw, The Corn Dolly Triptych embodies the complex framework and methodologies surrounding ritual theory, fictioning theory, and the Moebius theory. Based on the monumental fibre art installations of Jagoda Buić, the masterful material manipulation of Tara Donovan and the sculptural integrity of Arlene Shechet, these twelve-foot sculptures radiating in their temple imbue a goddess presence for those in their midst, whispering blessings upon those who seek their guidance and comfort. The triptych shadows the harvest ritual's legacy through thousands of years of human evolution through place and historical tropes.
