Archaeological and Intuitive Excavations in Rome and Pompeii

Self-Directed Artist Residency, August–September 2025

This project draws inspiration from figures like Frederick Bligh Bond, whose excavations at Glastonbury Abbey were guided by spiritual communication, a practice he documented in The Gate of Remembrance. It is also deeply informed by the work of Carolyn E. Boyd, an artist-turned-archaeologist whose decades-long study of the White Shaman mural revealed complex mythological systems encoded in ancient imagery. Both offer a lineage of inquiry where the boundaries between art, science, and the sacred begin to blur.

This project was made possible through the generous support of private art collectors
