Where the wolfsbane blooms, The Art Vault, Mildura
To co-incide with my forthcoming residency at the fabulous The Art Vault, I'll also be exhibiting a selection of works from my PhD project and beyond that return attention to archaic lore in which enchanted flora or potions brewed from poisonous flowers caused women to transform into wolves. Explanatory wall texts provide insights into the floral iconography in an exhibition that exploits and subverts the cliché of the quintessentially feminine floral motif.Be sure to pop in if you happen to be passing through Mildura
