The Mage, the magician, the archetype for one who is able to conjure new realities into view. Realities that were always here, just overlooked or forgotten but waiting to be seen.
This body of work explores transformation through connection—with instinct, with others, and with more-than-human intelligences. I’m inspired by women who have reclaimed their intuition and used it to create radical change. Despite cultural narratives that benefit from the obfuscation of inner knowing. Their stories, along with encounters with the more than human world have guided me through making this show.
Sparked with a quote from City Magick by Christopher Penczak: “The hallmark of the magician is the ability to see a new view of reality.” That idea, and the realization that my routines and familiar surroundings were numbing my brain, led me to seek unfamiliar environments. I took my studio on the road, working in remote locations that inspired and woke up my senses. Through direct experience I was able to grasp what I was trying to. My process began to mirror what I was reading about-taking intuitive action instead of automatic routine and focussing my awareness on sensory experiences, noticing the subtle shifts of invisible cartographies.
This exhibition is an invitation to follow unfamiliar paths, to engage with what doesn’t speak in human terms, and to trace the invisible threads connecting all things. The Mage is not one definable character. The Mage is everyone and no-one – a symbol for transformation, alternate realities and inner knowing.
