Animalia
The pieces in this series connect to the energetic, mythological and liminal themes in the Kelim series, with a focus on the wild animal. I explore the varied beauty and sometimes awkward angles of the wild and mythical animals that exist in our inner and outer lives in Animalia. Motion and the possibility of movement weave throughout these paintings. This series is additionally inspired by imagery of animal deities from ancient cultures; the title and aspect of these characters expressing kinship with the wild creatures that live in our homes, forests and dreams.
