SEEKING THE ANCESTORS

2023 – current

by Kim J Vermeulen 

We feed the flesh, but perhaps it is not in the body where the emptiness lies but in the soul.  I turn to my ancestors; exploring the fact, fiction and fantasy of their ancient beliefs.

Much of our knowledge of the past comes from ‘artefacts’, the word is derived from the Latin meaning ‘something made by or using art’, this explains the importance of art for cultural understanding. In history and archaeology often things we do not understand are assigned ritualistic meaning. and things we find impossible attributed to myth and legend. 

Are we searching? For answers, knowledge, understanding, purpose, spirituality, mystery and meaning.
