Labyrinth of Alchemised Honey: is an invitation to step into a world of hand-crafted, soul-sculpted Art, myth, poetry and magic created by MELISSA ARTEMIS SHEMANNA & ORRYELLE DEFENESTRATE-BASCULE.

“To all the divinities- we offer HONEY Likewise, to the Priestess who guides us through the Labyrinth of our soul – HONEY” – Inscription from the Labyrinth of Ancient Minoan Crete

An exhibition of original oil & tempera paintings, lit sumptuously on raw cave-like walls. Sculptures of clay, wood, bronze and dripping honeycomb installed creatively throughout the labyrinthine space, hanging poetry and prose written on silk -an invitation to meander through a sensuous foray for contemplation.

Projections of telluric images evocative of the mythic glyphs of our universal mother tongue flicker on the ceiling of the earthen womb, taking you into the numinous dreaming. Within a magical installation, regenerative symbols and sigils revivify the font of Mnemosyne to remember what we have forgotten. Original paintings, Drawings & limited edition prints available exclusively during this exhibition.

Labyrinth of Alchemised Honey; is a production of The Honeybee Temple Arts Pollinator (Private Art Foundation), curated by Melissa Shemanna. Funds raised at art auction on opening night go towards the increase of the yield of sacred honey for the foundation to create more arts & culture in the esoteric arena.

OPENING EVENT: PRIVATE VIEWING FRIDAY 27TH SEPT, 6PM-11PM

COMMUNITY EVENT: RITUAL CEREMONY: 6-6.45pm
The Sacred Bee as emissary beyond the veil: We will be holding a ritual ceremony within the space, to nourish and awaken the collective hive mind’s creative essence, in a rite of passage, that includes music and meditation/visualisation, participants will be moving with us on a journey through the labyrinth as an emissary beyond the veil of Hymen~op~Terra, in between time and space as we experience it, to find and embody our living mythical presence in the dreaming, to alchemise our true essence and be imbued and anointed with soul honey, inspiration, artistry and initiation.

The CRYPT Gallery is an old church yard crypt, that has been transformed years ago to create the St Pancras Crypt Gallery – an underground cave/ womb like space that is both mysterious and sacred to step into and a perfect space to create an atmospheric interactive world within, to transform and inspire the viewers with a progressive installation rather than just works on white walls.
