Combining poetic symbolism and socio-political critique, this remarkable work embeds a memory of the land and its age-old traditions in current aesthetic and political concerns. The installation comprises a hundred or so ceramic figurines with leather wings and feather antennae.Pinned to the walls in rows, these part-human, part-animal figures form a monumental, strikingly beautiful bestiary on an intrusive scale and with a recurring, and disturbing, hybrid female image.
