Domrémy
The all-in-one: one inscription carrying the work entire.
Ekaterina Sirichinova's embroidery of Domrémy — the Campo de Bourlemont, the clearing Joan of Arc drew power from. The proof is its form: a single inscription carrying the work entire — title, artist, the image itself, and the story of the place. Nothing about the work has to be looked up elsewhere; the certificate and the certified are one object. It was signed and published three-of-three as certificate authorities under the names Hayagriva, Christophia and Anthony.

Domrémy
by Ekaterina Sirichinova
Joffrey Bourlémont, French nobleman turned Crusader, set for Jerusalem to find peace, war and the Well of Souls. He returned to Vosges weary and heartbroken. Solace came through a clearing in Domrémy. Here he built a well and tower for children to gather and hear to tales of dragons, ciphers and Celtic magic. Two centuries later Joan of Arc would draw power from this enchanted place, and thread a national identity.
