Artist Statement
Tiana Traffas is currently creating a series titled Arcana Ma. Arcana meaning secrets or mysteries, Ma as in mother or motherhood: mysteries of motherhood. This ever unfolding body of work explores the taboos and experiences of motherhood through archetype, personal experience, mythology and symbolism from the ancient goddess cultures to modern-day mamas. It also includes work that views the other phases of womanhood, maiden to crone, and the life-death-rebirth cycle through the len of motherhood. Arcana Ma only exists because of her daughter's birth. The artist's initiation into motherhood cracked her wide open into a psychedelic and potent transformation, leaving her reborn on an emotional and spiritual level. The act of birth and the continuous trip of motherhood is the inspiration for this series.
