“Lost Mythologies” is a constantly evolving series of allegorical oil paintings. The primacy of the feminine form and feminine power has always been a key element in this work. The Old World is gone and with it the quest for human control, domination and subjugation. Values of interdependency with nature, the integration of the spiritual with the corporal, ritual adornment and aesthetics are all themes that continue to inform this series. The image making itself has dictated the narrative. These images begin with an arresting gesture or an evocative landscape. The story is then built around these elements. Research of mythic cultural patterns, ethnological discourse and a host of other aesthetic, spiritual and scientific resources help to inform these constantly evolving narratives.
