Tereza’s commission married the Lincolnshire woodland with Czech fantasies in the form of a tableaux vivant staged photograph. A respect for our history and the natural world distilled and reincarnated into a liberated billboard totem in the woods.
It formed the latest development in a greater body of work which reflected Tereza’s beliefs that our traditions should not grow dusty whilst being perfectly preserved in cabinets. It draws inspiration from ancient mythologies and folklore.
The work united the power of femininity through reference to the Greek goddess of animals, Artemis, the goddess of earth worshiped by Slavs, Mokos and the Celtic goddess of wild beasts, fauna and flora, Flidias and her magical cow with an endless supply of milk. Alongside these godesses, Tereza explored English folklore, including the Haxey Hood Game, a 700 year old Lincolnshire tradition.
