Do you know what inspired Liz Lerman's WICKED BODIES?
"Back in 2013 I wandered into an art exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery entitled Witches and Wicked Bodies.
The museum show made me crazy. I cried. I swore. I gaped.
The exhibition covered 500 years of prints and drawings of witches by some of the greatest illustrators from the West, as well as unknown churchmen and a few women artists.
The pictures ranged from the explicitly sexual to the wildly mysterious, but the depiction of women’s bodies as lethal, poisonous, powerful, and strange was persistent, regardless of historical period.
It was then that I decided to explore the subject matter and see if a work would emerge.
I think the piece has arrived at a good moment." - @lizlerman
