Dear Ayline,

Our exhibition is called Un Jardin Secret.

The 'secret place’ or the ‘secrets of women’ was a term used to describe the Gravid Uterus. Previous to the twenty-first century any documentation of the uterus was hidden. Illustrations, depictions and writings were only accessed by scholars and locked away in libraries, palaces and cathedrals. Today we have access to these anatomical images and writings. The past 100 years has slowly revealed the wonder of the uterus. A place were we all come from. I have loved exploring this place and the space where we find our first connection to nature. The secret garden or un jardin secret is a celebration of the wonder of this place and an opportunity to look deeper into our spiritual and physical relationship with nature.

I’m interested in the 'Elysian Fields' and the many connections to this earth that run through your poems.

Have you found a heavenly place on this earth?

Rebecca
