Working with ancient pigments

I am currently working on a narrative of humanity embodied in, told by and expressed with ochre (earth pigments) in large-scale installations / paintings. My focus is on feminine energy, the female psyche, our suppressed wisdoms, and redressing the balance between the masculine and feminine energies in society. A balance I believe is fundamentally important if we are to move humanity forward in a holistic way. My aim is to create an awareness around the oppression of the feminine - and women - our silenced wisdoms, and to give our ability to feel – to sense - a legitimacy as great as our ability to rationalize.
