In this work I take an approach to the unconscious that captures a dancer's movement and merges her image with creations of my own psyche. In both paintings and video, a series of archetypal postures are explored: Maiden, Warrior, Child, Trickster, Enchantress, among others. The goal is to connect with the unconscious without being swallowed by its terrifying aspects. Most of the paintings are based on stills of the dancer who I recorded for the video aspect of this project.
