The Roman Gaia, the African Konkomba, the South American Pachamama, the Indian Prithivi – all the world’s mythologies know the motif of the primordial mother. Often the origins of the world and nature are connected to highly revered female figures. Beth Newman-Maguire’s “Dancing Mother Earth”, which, covered by foliage, comes to life in an elegant dance exuding fertility, goes back to an archetypal myth – even though she knows how to give it a highly modern stylistic expression.
