Goddess Alpha: Directions Home is a textile compendium of embroidered images and stories about goddesses, beginning with Artemis, the virginal hunter, and progressing to the ostentatious Eos, the goddess of dawn, and Hecate, the healer. It concludes with the Zorya sisters, who are responsible for watching over the beast in the sky to prevent it from devouring the universe. Each of the 26 goddesses provides guidance on homing in on our direction in life, as well as on how to creatively undertake tasks of invention and inspiration. Furthermore, the stories of these goddesses lead to insights that help us discover our own soulful nature and the profound truths residing within our innermost being.
ABOUT JESSICA THEROUX Within Goddess Alpha, Jessica Theroux entwines her own personal journey with meticulous historical research and a spiritual connection to prominent goddess figures. Through her mastery of embroidery, watercolour, oil painting, and ceramic sculpture, she delves into the mystical realms of the feminine divine, shining a light on the power that resides with-in every cherished and often-overlooked creature on our planet. In a recent TedX talk, she explored the significance of love in our collective journey of (re)creating the world. Jessica, along with her husband Rich, run Rumble House, an art gallery and studio in downtown Calgary, Alberta.
