This small icon is a work that has been created over the years by collecting one found object after another. A work that is close to my heart. <\/p>\n\n

\"Framed
Iconic framing for the collage “Sweet Love” in the Bad Pyrmont Museum <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Icon “sweet love”, size approx. 17 x 26 cm<\/span>, incl. framing 60 x 80 cm <\/p>\n\n

The icon was part of my special exhibition “Romanticism 2.0” at the Bad Pyrmont Castle Museum 2023<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n

Material – found objects:<\/strong>
Painted waste wood.
A flattened cartridge case as a crown.
A stamped “Sistine Madonna” stamp.
A frame from a birth control pill wrapper filled with chocolate paper.
A crushed Astra Rotlicht<\/em> brand crown cap.
Remains of a child’s braid.
Labeled paper.<\/p>\n\n

Madonna between adoration and desire.
Between power and dependence.
Between kitsch and sublimity.
Between sugary sweet and bitter.<\/p>\n\n

This is where birth control pills and Madonna meet, chocolate and ammunition, childhood remnants and adult reality. Motherhood as a balancing act between victimhood and superpower, between social ideal and personal overload. A little bit saint, a little bit heroine, a little bit whore. <\/p>\n\n

For our mothers: contradictory, tired, loving, ironic, combative, sentimental and amazingly resilient. A Madonna who is not worshipped, but taken seriously. Mothers worldwide deserve protection and support. Raising children is the task of an entire society. <\/p>\n\n

With best wishes <\/p>\n\n

Magdalena<\/p>\n\n
