Between Worlds

The skull is a symbol of life after death, transformation and change, yet it is also there to celebrate the memory of the dead. My intrigue towards this subject matter is much more deep rooted. By borrowing the skull and its symbolic value as my canvas, it brought out a raw and instinctual creative process. The objects depicted venture beyond what is expected. They delve into the unconscious and wondrous worlds of mythology and art. The term ‘Between Worlds’ refers to the psychological and somewhat mystical realm in which the human relationship towards the animalistic and spiritual world is explored, drawing on Archetypal Psychologist, James Hillman’s quote: “We, mankind, are in the middle, neither ape nor angel”.
