Eve2Eden2Evolution
All Woman
We talk about Nature versus Human Nature as we have cut ourselves off from the natural world because we use verbal and written language.
When really we have merely forgotten our beginnings.
Using Eve and Eden as familiar constructs of creation and created, this series of artworks explores the nature within us, the nature that never left us.
The portraits of Nature and Self - the explosiveness of our inner-selves that tear at the flesh, the constructs of face value.
The three faces of Eve the raw and vivacious beginnings of humankind still deeply rooted in the rhythms of the natural world.
The 3 fragments of womanhood pieces, a self-portrait of my own journey. I found great satisfaction "tearing apart" my own work and old clothes to then piece together a new self-perspective. Asking myself what is my true nature at this moment in time?
Finally, the archetypal blended-medium "tapestry" of the Amazonas. The women depicted are of the water, earth, and sky - elemental Nature of our evolution.
