Of Myth

Of Myth turns to the stories told by the ancients that still hold footing today, about the origins of the world and our place within it. These works are meditations on inherited myths, retold through an abstracted, autobiographical lens. I return to Persephone, Demeter, Daphne, locating my own experiences as daughter, mother, survivor, making sense of power and struggles, theirs and my own. These are not faithful reproductions but critical retellings, stories deconstructed and rebuilt to hold a contemporary self.
