Divine Beauty, Even When Munching On The Dead
Author: Joyce Morgan Source: Sydney Morning Herald (AU)
Title: DIVINE BEAUTY, EVEN WHEN MUNCHING ON THE DEAD
Some are models of maternal wisdom and kindness. Others carry severed heads and devour demons for breakfast.
But they are all goddesses - whether they appear as women behaving modestly or very badly. Their extraordinary range of activities and attributes will be revealed in Goddess, Divine Energy, which opens at the Art Gallery of NSW next week. It is a sexy, new-age title for an exhibition of female deities in Buddhism and Hinduism.
Jackie Menzies, the show's curator, admits she was apprehensive when she first encountered Kali, one of the most fearsome females. "I'd always found her rather daunting," she says.
She looked for a way of understanding the dark-skinned dishevelled Hindu goddess, who is at times depicted munching on corpses and wearing a skirt of severed hands.
