The imaginative potency of the art of Ruth Bircham moves me to fuse Indian Tantric thought and other female centred philosophies from across the world- from Europe to Africa, up to the 'vibrations from the deep,' of the pot that rolls on and on without breaking, the One that Swallows a Man Whole as spoken of the matriarch of Yoruba female deities,Iyanla, Earth, the bottom configuration of the Sky/Earth axis that some describe as Olodumare, tthe Ultimate, the 'Odu' of whom is spoken of by one view as the deep space of all possibilities past,present,future and beyond,as presented in Babatunde Lawal's Gelede Spectacle,the pot evocative of the generative spaces of life insemination ,gestation and emergence,the assurance of the continuity of Homo Sapiens.
