HOMUNCULARIUM BASILISCUS, 2024
The first in the Homuncularium series, activated at the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, Boscastle, UK.
Ritual im-plant-ation of reproductive body fluids from four donors, enacted according to blended protocols by Paracelsus and from the museum's Richel collection, for producing in vitro creatures. Conducted on the lunar eclipse, March 2024 and installed in situ until December 31, 2024. Part of the year-long solo/curated exhibition, Arcanum Sanguinis: Occult Blood by WhiteFeather Hunter.

MOONCALF HOMUNCULARIUM, 2024 with Elizabeth Littlejohn
Red string, like an umbilical cord, magically entwines fates. We wind strings around an incubation hut where body fluids have been poured together to create an alchemical in vitro baby, once called a ‘homunculus.’ Our string symbolizes “Ariadne’s thread,” the ball of yarn used as a way-finder out of the Cretan minotaur’s labyrinth, now a metaphor for unravelling ethical dilemmas.
The Mooncalf Homonculariam is installed as an activated textile sculpture at Athens School of Fine Arts’ Annex of Rethymno in Crete.
