Nikita Gill: Imagining Hekate
The goddess of witchcraft gets poetic treatment
The poet Nikita Gill has written several volumes of poetry, and enjoys engaging poetically with her audience using social media.
Her work often explores Greek Myths, and her latest project continues with that theme as she embarks on a series of four books, each one focusing on a single goddess. For this episode of In The Studio, we join her as she starts with Hekate, often known as the Goddess of Witchcraft, and about whom little is known, other than that she was brought up in the underworld by Styx.
Nikita describes Hekate as a dark anti-feminine goddess and a protest against what is expected of women which is what appealed to her. But how do you go about creating a life for someone who is so mysterious? And as Nikita will also be illustrating her work, how will she decide how to visually portray her?
Follow Nikita across several months as she works towards completing her first draft of this exciting new work.
