| About the work |
I am forever in awe of women and their amazing capacity for growth, strength and their ability to give life. Vita is inspired by all the women in my life who have made me the person I am today. But on a more frivolous note, it is really inspired by my giant Lotus Jim Thompson tote bag!
Using mixed media, the art work has a three dimensional quality, highlighting the complex nature of women. Purple was chosen as the main colour feature as it is both a combination of the “masculine” blue, and the “feminine” red. The “androgynous” purple is however in full bloom, like a lotus in spring.
