mixed media performing sculpture.

The fashioning of an image is one thing, the fashioning of a mythological realm another.
Joseph Campbell, "Primitive Mythology: The Masks of God"

The sculptures in the Bride series are about death and renewal and point to the need for continuous creation.
The Bride is an erotic otherness already contaminated with the vapours of death.
The Bride, like a rainbow, is a bridge between two states of being.
