Artists Notes:
Group Prayer is practiced in many cultures and religious groups. Bringing people together in prayer, seems to give the prayer more power. It is believed that in ancient and especially matrifocal cultures, the woman came together in circle to pray for thier people. I sketched this while in a class, as we were discussing group prayer. It makes me think of sisters coming together for a common cause in community. Circle has been a metaphor for eternity and unity throughout time. Many various rituals are practiced in different cultures when coming together in circle, for example in Celtic and Native American traditions the Four Directions (N.E.S.W. and their elemental associations - Air, Fire, Water & Earth) are called upon to protect and bless the gathering.
