About the Artist

An introductory paragraph set in a slightly larger size can help provide a rhythm to the typography and help increase the legibility of the page.

 Anastasia Pelias, a multidisciplinary New Orleans artist, creates site-specific installations that delve into personal history, familial relationships, and human rituals. The sculpture It was my pleasure is a reimagining of the tripod of the Oracle of Delphi, and draws inspiration from feminist narratives of spirituality and power, intertwined with ancient Greek mythology.


The permanent installation is intended as a meditative space for contemplation and for honoring divine feminine energy across space and time. In this work Pelias seeks to create connections between her native city of New Orleans and Greece, her family’s ancestral country of origin. 


Weighing 1,000 pounds and crafted from fiberglass, the sculpture was first unveiled at Capdevielle Place Park on October 23, 2021, the opening of Prospect.5 and remained on site until the end of P.5 on  January 23, 2022. 

 
Arts New Orleans, Prospect.5, and Anastasia Pelias worked with the Lake Terrace Property Owner Association and Lakefront Management Association (LMA) to have It was my pleasure permanently relocated to St. John Park, on Saint Bernard Ave and Allen Toussaint Blvd, between New York St and Frankfort St.
