Never Seen is inspired by the Sumerian mythological poem Descent of Inanna, and the figure of Ereshkigal. While Inanna journeys in a cycle between death and rebirth, her sister Ereshkigal remains in darkness as ruler of the land of the dead. In her underworld domain, Ereshkigal is hidden, but her cloak of invisibility gives her awesome insights as a seer and guardian of the night. Hidden Sister celebrates the legacy of women who are submerged in our cultural history and evokes female wisdom embodied in the figure of the crone.
