A Sacred Honour

Have you heard of a placenta print? I hadn’t, but this morning I received a visit from Fiona and little Grace (a very new and precious being on this planet) and learned all about the significance of this nutrient-rich organ and the various things some people / cultures do with it after a child is born (including eating it, dehydrating it to make potent energy capsules, tree planting ceremonies, and placenta art). After Grace was born, Fiona made this print by lying the Tree of Life side of the placenta on a canvas, creating what I already feel is a powerful and beautiful image. She has commissioned me to enhance the print with my art. What a sacred honour! Thank you Fiona for helping me expand the depth and breadth of my energism art practice and for welcoming my desire to share what I learned with others.
