Offering

Overview:

Offering explores the liminal experience of mounting during a Haitian Vodou ritual.

Mounting is when a priest (Ougan) or priestess (Mambo) presents an offering to commune with ancestral spirits (Iwa). The spirit will then place the ougan/mambo in a trance state, allowing the spirit to speak through them. 

The cup in this case represents a typical offering of coffee, rum, and gunpowder offered to the Petwo a family of spirits often associated with anger and retribution.   

Specifications:

  • 4 panels 18” x 24”

  • Pastels, ink, marker, pen and colored pencils

  • In the cup: coffee grounds and modgepodge
