Issobell Oige
Execution Date: April 24, 1597
Location: Aberdeen, Scotland
Execution Method: Strangle and Burn
Issobell was accused of being able to cause storms by hanging a beetle from a thread and whispering to it. Issobell was also accused of using… special green thread to bewitch cloth so that it would sell at market. She was found guilty of the crime of witchcraft and sentenced to die.
“The superior learning of witches was recognized in the widely extended belief of their ability to work miracles. The witch was in reality the profoundest thinker, the most advanced scientist of those ages. As knowledge has ever been power, the church feared its use in women's hands, and leveled its deadliest blows at her." - Matilda Joslyn Gage, 1893

Kimberley Bruce
Canada
« Creating art by breathing abstraction into emotion, pursuing confusion, haziness, and obscurity to create poetic images in which myth and reality collide and present and past are fused. »
Kimberley Bruce is a painter from British Columbia, Canada. Using fabric, paint and photographs, and layering elements of light, color and texture, Bruce creates hazy, surreal, and dreamlike abstract works of art. Her paintings are soothing, tonal images that evoke the beauty and serenity of Canada's west coast.
