Tracing the Origins of Emma Kohlmann’s Arcane Figures
Emma Kohlmann’s recent work draws from Monica Sjöö’s feminist cosmology, reimagining ancient ideas of creation, time and the body through her own contemporary lens.
Emma Kohlmann first encountered Monica Sjöö on Tumblr, where Sjöö’s surreal watercolors of priestesses and excerpted passages from her writings on the divine feminine were popular.
Monica Sjöö’s 1971 book The Great Cosmic Mother is credited as one of the first to argue for Indo-European societies’ widespread devotion to fertility goddesses and the possibility of convergent pre-capitalist matriarchy.
