Lino Block print, Print on Fabriano Academia paper.

h: 45 w: 30 d: 1 (cms).

Second of three prints in the “Garden of Eden” series. “Lilith is in the blood and bones of every woman” is a defiant image. Although the scene is static, it holds frustration in the force exerted, the pressure leveraged, the tension demonstrated in the flex in the bristles of the broom. The long shaft of the handle is forced against the neck of the coat. Set within a room that speaks of history. Time is illustrated in the wide planks on the worn-down floor and the guilt of damage, due to carelessness seen of the damage to the skirting boards. Implied, is a moment after the betrayal, leaves are covering coy, limp phalluses in the wallpaper, represented by the Australian native finger limes. Looks like Adam had two failed relationships - women who had their own ideas, did God do this on purpose? Was it really the snakes fault?

Third in the series of three prints in the “Garden of Eden” series. “The cage where you live is made of thoughts” features a wallpaper covered in a strangler fig pattern. Cast aside on the chair is a stripped jacket, no longer needed, power cable unplugged, job done. Sparse, in this clean space, conventionally for a wet space, the tiles are ancient, carved from old stone. Still and calm, it is a quiet room, vacated, the serpentine cord discarded, coiled loosely on the floor, in the way, and a trip hazard. Fortunately, I am entering my 'crone' era, years of conformity and manipulation are being set aside. Deeply influenced by justice, my work explores who we really need to be wary of.
