Collection: Talisman Exhibit

About the Exhibit

Talisman represents the authentic roots of pysanky, taking traditional designs and exploring their continuing evolution. 

Pysanky is rebellion against the forces of evil, both in legend and in history. There is power in the history of pysanky, tied into tradition, ethnicity, and identity. These talismans grasp that ancient power and bring it forward into the modern world.  

This exhibition has pysanky, wax resist, and dyed blown eggshells, as well as batik art eggs inspired by traditional talismans and original designs of the artist on varying sizes from the familiar chicken to exotic swan, sturdy goose, peahen, and magnificent ostrich shells.
