A woman transforming into a tree, eyes closed. From the waist down she has become a brown, twisting trunk; above the waist, her pale skin is being mottled over with bark, her hand stretches out into branches, and leaves spring from her hair and arms.

Daphne

Acrylic, paper, wood

Based on the myth of Daphne and the god Apollo. The myth deals with themes of unrequited love, the consequences of unbridled desire, and the preservation of personal autonomy.

An abstract in oranges and blues, full of triangles and circles. The design evokes tambourines and drums, as well as a dancer bringing their leg around in a high leap.

Capoeira

Acrylic

Based on capoeira, a Brazilian martial art camouflaged as a dance that incorporates movements performed to traditional songs and musical instruments. It emerged as a form of self defense preparation in disguise amongst slaves in the colonies.
