Collages SHEELA
In catholic churches in Ireland one sometimes finds pre-christian fertility statues, the 'Sheela-na-gig', a woman pointing at her vagina. The church has tried to replace this fertility symbol by a more christian image of women, 'Brigid'. The struggle between these two images has become apparent in these collages.
