This body of work was inspired from my experience in Quebec during my residency at Engramme Print Studio in 2008. There are many references to religion in this work. You will also see the presence of a mask with ridged horns, which is used as both a headpiece and an object of love, symbolic of another being. I usually have no concious control over what comes out in my work and I find that as my work develops, it seems to take on a life of its own, which is what has begun to happen in this new work. There seems to be a strong sense of love surfacing, in all the shades that love presents itself in our lives. The mask which features in this work, is one that I came across in Quebec and immediately fell in love with.
