Finding Lilith

Lilith is theorised to be the first wife of Adam, created as his equal and banished from the Garden of Eden for not obeying him. So many fascinating stories surround Lilith and I find her archetype highly relevant these days where we are still dictated to by the male gaze.

The intent of this series is to explore sensuality and sexuality – the contradiction of expectation, desire and reality.


AWAKEN

Stunning artworks that explore the archetype of Lilith

A proud display of the “pearl necklace” embedded deeply in her back. The talons burrow deeper with each new year of blossoming. Blinded to consequence, to pain, to herself, she is awakening.


LOVELORN

What is there but to love love? To love even the idea of love. The possibility of soul’s connection with a version of someone we deserve and want them to be.


LOSS

Love and loss walk hand in hand, alone and within an embrace.


STIGMALION

SACRIFICE

Here she lay, still. Her ribs pierced by that spunky, soft sword.


MISCONDUCTEDNESS

Misconnected, misaligned, ill-fitted, unjust, unbalanced – questions stir from within.


More to come.
