'Above and Below' - Limited Edition 2 | 5 Photograph

Underpinned by the Swan Myth, this series of work explores the the body as an intimate vessel capable of holding both deep joy and suffering and the ways in which we both lose and reclaim parts of ourselves. The opportunity to create this work in the Australian desert, during a time of great change and uncertainty, was an experience of deep surrender. The desert, since ancient times, serving as a mirror to the inner life whilst connecting us to something greater than ourselves. Referencing the mystical nature of our lived experience we might ask what is essential to our being and what needs to fall away? Elements of the domestic, of what it is to be a woman, inform both narrative and process. The thin sheath or veil, hand dyed with Mangrove bark, becomes an extension of the self, a delicate threshold representing our relationship and interconnectedness to the natural world. It is through the mundane, the rituals of living, that we find ourselves transformed in some way. Through our personal and collective experiences the inner and outer worlds unite to create something anew in each lived moment. Printed on Ilford Pearl © Eleanor Amiradaki
