At some point in human history, the indigenous Western cornerstones of spirituality were overwritten and committed to myth. These myths, which were imprinted generation after generation by the collective unconscious, developed social structure event symbols that were then ingrained into the human psyche and defined by archetypes. The corn dolly is one such symbol that continues to inspire unity, continuity, connectivity, reverence and awe. Over thousands of years of evolution, the corn dolly continues its relevancy in world cultural communities as an effigy annually celebrated during the harvest at Lughnasadh.

The Corn Dolly Triptych follows the Corn Dollys' evolution over four thousand years through thousands of miles of the terrane. Banks of the Nile River, over the Pyrénées, across the mystic islands of the Atlantic into the future. These three-meter-tall goddesses reside in the Temple of the Harvest, the Harvestum. In attendance at the Harvestum are members of the Cult of the Corn Dolly, ushering the way for pilgrims and worshippers from far and wide. The Harvestum is a sanctuary of visual delight, and wonders explored through light, scent, sound and atmospheric techniques, transporting the viewer to a place of reverence and connection. Tugging at the collective peripheral memories of primal ritual and our instinctual desire to connect with nature sets the tone of the Harvestum, facilitating an opportunity for the viewer to experience a deep sense of empathy in a nourishing and safe environment.
