Les filles (2017)

Les Filles, and their partner painting Love Dies Dancing, explore the awful paradox at the centre of the Rite’s narrative: that the awakening of new life must also entail a terrible sacrifice. Spring is the beginning, but also an appalling end.
The resulting ‘dancers’ in these works are intended as paradoxes between the two states. Poised somewhere between dancing and drowning they are at once symbols of fertility – of life – and reminders of our fragile mortality.
