"To look into the eyes of a wolf is to see your own soul" Native American Proverb
The idea of an animal soul or spirit animal is central to this series of work. It draws upon myths, fairytales, contemporary fiction and Shamanistic beliefs. Wolves, for example, represent the deepest levels of self and inner knowing. They are highly organised and social animals but also remind us that we still have our wild spirit. Deer have the ability to listen with grace and have appreciation for the beauty of balance and in myths they tempt us away from civilisation to explore our own magical and spiritual nature.
This series is about our kinship with animals and nature but also about our inner life - our instincts, our intuition and our nature.
