Rosa Mystica is a series of etchings created in response to the Ushaw Residency and Acquisition Prize, made possible by Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and Ushaw Historic House, Chapels, and Gardens. The series depicts a rosebush teeming with characters from religious tales, inspired by the artist’s experience at Ushaw. In this work, Cascón reinterprets the Virgin Mary as an ancient fertility goddess, delving into themes of motherhood, the fears surrounding it, loss and tenderness, while also celebrating the beauty of nature and life itself.
