Between Worlds

‘What is the womb at the centre of the universe? How is it reflected in a woman’s body? It is not just reflected; it is identical. A woman’s body contains the same field of energy that is found at the center of the universe. It’s a field of infinite potential. It is the formless void.’ Larry Merculieff, Aleut Elder.

I’m interested in the idea of the womb as a portal or threshold between worlds, as it brings creative energy or new life into being. Referencing ultrasound images from my four pregnancies – two of which miscarried – this  series also recalls my experience of holding hope and mystery within the uncertainty and vulnerability of early pregnancy.
