CAULDRON
"Cauldron" was originally installed at Prague Castle, at the Plečnik Gallery, a converted private chapel for presidents, turned to an art space after the revolution. It is surrounded by the beautiful gardens designed by architect Josip Plečnik after WWI, inspired by the Biblical gardens of Paradise. The numerous cauldrons in the garden were the architect's ode to the female elements of containment, nurturing, holding, and water. The cauldron is also traditionally associated with witches and cooks.
