Ships in a Crate
Inspired by the ancient world myth and symbol of Ouroboros (the serpent eating its own tail) and Jung's reading of the alchemists' use of that symbol as pertaining to the psyche and the search for wholeness. The Ouroboros is a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the opposite, i.e. of the shadow. This 'feed-back' process is at the same time a symbol of immortality, since it is said of the Ouroboros that he slays himself and brings himself to life, fertilizes himself and gives birth to himself. He symbolizes the One, who proceeds from the clash of opposites, and he therefore constitutes the secret of the prima materia which unquestionably stems from man's unconscious.

Saskia is a London based artist who has exhibited in the UK and New York, had work selected for the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, and been commissioned both publicly and privately. She has been awarded prizes for drawing, sculpture and mixed media as well as the Rome Art Program and Edwin Russel Sculpture scholarships. My work is driven by the desire to explore and define my own existence and through it I seek dialogue with age old concerns of the human psyche. How do we formulate an image of self and what is our relationship to that self and to the world around us? Each time I confront a work in the studio, I am confronting myself and sucked into the dark and subterranean worlds of the psyche. I aim to create psychological spaces of tension and isolation, where figures simultaneously dissolve, decay, grow and find form. Working across two and three dimensions, my use of materials reflects the violence and fragility of the human condition, as I build up and scrape back, destroy and reconstruct, in a restless search for image, search for self and identity, search for meaning- search for elusive solid ground. The dance of Eros and Thanatos.
