Tirtzah Bassel is a Brooklyn-based painter investigating how embodiment, myth, and ritual shape who we are and how we move through the world. Bassel’s recent series, I Put a Spell, explores the figure of the witch and its persistence throughout Western culture and art history, referencing both the Old Masters of the European canon and reclamations by women artists including Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, and Mary Beth Edelson.
