My current project is entitled "The Witchcraft Series", a sequence of wall-mounted works exploring the concept of witchcraft and witch-persecution in European history. I draw on the roots of woven tapestry as a mural art form and strong story-telling medium. The subject of witchcraft creates an intense metaphorical lens through which to reflect on various contemporary attitudes and social fears.
