In Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey, the Greek hero Odysseus was marooned on the island of the witch Circe following the Trojan War. Circe warned Odysseus of the haunting song of the Sirens when he sailed home, telling him to bind himself to the mainmast of his ship so he wouldn’t be drawn off-course by their irresistible singing. “The siren is one of the psyche's deadliest anima aspects, luring the ego overboard, pulling consciousness off course, obliterating the memory and means of getting to where one needs to be” (Michael J. Padgett).

A Taste of Exile is a reminder that we all come from a uterus; we are all embedded in nature and in the mystery cycle of life and death. With a nod to the Queen of Hearts this piece celebrates pre-monotheistic times and serves as a hopeful icon for the possibility of alternative systems and power structures. Colbert uses the symbol throughout her practice—including in jewellery—striving to create a supportive coven, united by the loving and protective symbol of origin.

Painted ceramic

Unique
£ 2,500
The Tutti Frutti series draws inspiration from mushrooms and psychedelics, which are considered by some anthropologists to be the reason for the pivotal evolutionary transition between ‘animal state’ and ‘human state’. This theory, known as the Stoned Ape Theory, argues that we ‘ate our way to higher consciousness’, with language, imagination, the arts, philosophy, science, and all human culture developing afterwards.
