Foxgloves also known as fairy thimbles, witches’ gloves, and dead man’s bells, and 'fox fingers' due to the belief that foxes wear them on their paws to enable silent hunting - notably they often grow in the vicinity of fox dens on woody hillsides.

They are believed to be a plant beloved by fairies, and often appear in charms or protections from maleficia. In Roman mythology, the goddess Flora touched Hera on her breasts and stomach with foxglove in order to impregnate her with the god Mars.

In Norse mythology foxes wear the bell-shaped flowers around their necks; the ringing of bells was believed to form a spell of protection against hunters and their hounds.

Digitalis is used in contemporary medicine for slowing or strengthening of heart muscles, and was historically used to treat epilepsy. In Nicholas Culpeper's 1652 herbal digitalis is mentioned as a treatment for healing wounds, a purgative, for 'the King's Evil' (scrofula), 'the falling sickness' (epilepsy), and for a 'scabby head'.

A family portrait a la @daisy_collingridge. The artist shares in her statement: “The work sits in an awkward space between sculpture, performance and art. The ‘flesh suits’ or ‘Squishies’ are an exploration of fabric, form and flesh. Their tactile fabric bodies and inviting colour exaggerate the warmth and softness of flesh- these elements signify a living thing. They are visceral. There is a desire to touch. Fabric offers skin-like qualities that traditional sculpting materials do not have. Unlike marble or ceramic, they will not last forever, just like skin. The medium is more approachable and laced with meaning given that we all come into contact with fabric on a daily basis.” — #beautifulbizarre #daisycollingridge #textileartist #art #makeupartist #fleshsuit #contemporaryart #performance #textile #performance #family #newcontemporary https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYTMGmo0Wz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Rise” represents the struggle we face when we rise above our personal insecurities. Even when we find our goals at the tips or our fingers, we are not immune to the tugs of self doubt, anxiety or worry.

Muma Pădurii is a grotesque mischievous hag from Romanian folklore. Dwelling deep in the forest she cares for the native flora and fauna, scaring away those who threaten to harm her wild habitat.
