Ablution II Print

This series of works is inspired by the literature of Robert Burton and others. A study into the nature and origins of melancholy. What I've learnt from the ocean... Hard to dance and rejoice in the motion.... “Know ye not that there is here in this world a secret confraternity, which one might call the Company of Melancholiacs? That people there are who by natural constitution have been given a different nature and disposition than the others; that have a larger heart and a swifter blood, that wish and demand more, have stronger desires and a yearning which is wilder and more ardent than that of the common herd. They are fleet as children over whose birth good fairies have presided; their eyes are opened wider; their senses are more subtile in all their perceptions.
