"In Svetlana Swinimer’s solo show Unveiling The Goddess, various aspects of memory and Slavic ancestral connections take place through interaction and contemplation. At Gallery 101, Svetlana’s pieces create a sacred and welcoming space, not just for Slavic women, but as Svetlana pointed out in our interview, some form of the Divine Feminine or Earthly Mother is present in all cultures, and so friends and visitors from various cultural backgrounds can find connections to the Makosh imagery, whether in Her story or the symbols associated with Her. Makosh is a Slavic goddess, and linguistically, the title ‘Mother-Wet-Earth’ is associated with Makosh¹, but her name is also associated with Slavic root words pertaining to spinning, plaiting and moisture². Makosh is a life-giver, our Slavic Mother Earth." (2)
