A Mother Mold monument cast of Lauren Bishop and Stevenson Dunn from Bedstuy Brooklyn, depicts the first family of Muslim faith to be cast in the Mama Spa Botanica workshop May 2023. Confronting viewers within a historic surgical theatre in Iris Crepusculos Pupilas Madrugadas solo show at Thomas Jefferson University medical school, a Mother Mold fertility effigy suspends from the ceiling with umbilical twisted, flesh pink fabric nesting onto a backbone of coral, banana stalk casts and fruit nets.

Tomsa Bachue (Lauren Bishop & Stevenson Dunn) is a fecund fertility effigy in bruised grape, twilight and magenta tones dripping interior latex paint, intimate ephemera and domestic construction materials cast onto an upcycled blue blood tartan pattern window drapery. Polychromatic palm fronds curl around arms akimbo, bracing a bulging belly that is gripped by a disembodied hand whose bones are neon coral growths in the spiraling figure.

In Muisca Creation mythology, Bachue (Grandmother) is the non-material principle of creation and imagination of the future. Unquyquie nxie ("first thought") is the time of the cosmic origin, when the thoughts of Bachue became actions. The world started with Chimi ("the pulp"), the first material object in the world. Within the Tomsa (belly of the universe) the embryos of stars, land and stone were incubated. When tomsa was full, the seeds of the earth emerged; the remains were thrown away, forming the Milky Way. The elements were distributed to the deities: the heat to Sué – the sun, the cold to Chía – the Moon, and the clouds and smoke to the Earth where seeds lie. When Mnya, gold, energy, was united with Chimi, the pulp became Chímini, the creative force, which caused the germination of the seeds forming life on Earth.
