Description
“Black winged night bore a wind sown egg
From which, in the circling seasons, came Eros
His back gleaming with twin, golden wings
Swift as the whirling winds”
From The Birds by Aristophanes

This piece appeared in a 2020 exhibition called Hinterland: an exploration of liminal space
Nature, Folklore, dreamworlds, myth, folk song, colour, form, patterns and forces in nature are all key inspirations for pieces in this exhibition collection
Hinterland is an exploration of in-between spaces such as borders, boundaries, shorelines and other such places in nature. The work also explores more abstract ideas of hinterlands, such as areas lying beyond what is visible or known, the blurred lines between folklore, myth and reality, life and death or dream and consciousness
