Steel sculpture 'Pinga Raw' by London based artist Misha Milovanovich. In Inuit mythology, Pinga ("the one who is high") was a goddess of the hunt, fertility and medicine. In Jungian psychology, the psychopomp is a mediator between the unconscious and conscious realms. It is symbolically personified in dreams as a wise man or woman, or sometimes as a helpful animal. Misha’s latest sculpture is made of 8 parts of brazed and welded in a complex artistic and technical process. Each angle provides a different view of the piece and a myriad of optical scenes to contemplate. A strong cheerful piece in space that alludes a playful approach with its geometric build and organic forms. Misha’s forms are undoubtably female “a womblike form" as related to female anatomy, Misha weaves in symbolic elements of nature, such as birds, clouds, petals and structures from biology. Translating the three-dimensional world around her into flat colour and line and into her own playful language.
