Rose Seccareccia is a multidisciplinary artist, licensed mental health provider and native New Yorker. Ovum: Sacred Feminine navigates personal and collective myth-making, the natural world, and the liminal space where dreams and waking intersect.

In her embroidered works, Seccareccia remembers recurring dreams with pieces like In the Belly of the Night Toad, and in others, gets granular in her articulation of lichen, wood mold and fungal spores—exploring growth in decayed spaces.

The True Story of Zig Jim, begun years ago and now reprinted, is a traditional fairytale written and illustrated in block prints that tells the adventure of a dreamer drawn to the sea, of love and disaster, and a rescue mission.

Seccareccia’s quilted work reimagines canonical hagiographies by Giotto, Masaccio and Fra Angelica, to instead stitch the stories of mythical and historical women through the traditionally feminine art form of quilt making and embroidery.

These mediums are all presented in dialogue.
