About The Artwork
My work draws on narratives found in folk and fairy tales to explore themes of individual transformation and metamorphosis, of ‘becoming’ and human agency. These tales, deceptively familiar, evoke archetypal figures, myths, legends and fundamental truths from our lived experience as social beings in an ever changing world. Every generation finds its own way to re-imagine the core stories of our folk traditions. It is this process of reinvention and renewal that underpins my work.This work examines tales like those of Bluebeard and Fitcher's bird where a terrible secret lies behind a forbidden door. In folklore and fairy tales the key can denote liberation, knowledge, the unravelling of mysteries or a difficult task to accomplish. In these stories I see the key assisting us on a path of revelation, unlocking secrets that reveal truths that enable personal growth and transformation. The Forbidden Chamber consists of 50 clear lost wax cast glass keys, and a metal hoop displayed on black mirrored glass.
