Seventy original papercuts by Sophie Herxheimer juxtapose the ordinary and fabulous. Journey from Alaska to Mesopotamia, ancient Rome to Tibet, and follow the goddess from creator to crone. The Mighty Goddess reimagines ancient myths in poetic language, putting the goddess at the centre of the narrative, exploring the many ways in which goddesses are represented.
