Stories formulate our cultural and spiritual identities. Throughout history societies myths and lore have been forged to vilify the feminine. Inspired by the romantic style of William Waterhouse, this series is a sensual exploration of what it means to be an embodied modern woman. Using a unique combination of charcoal and oil on wood these pieces emanate dark moods and illuminated light. As society and identity twist and morph under the pressure of outdated ideologies a diamond emerges, strength and self acceptance.
