Artwork description: endogeny comprises a sculpted glass ring and a light projected painting through a hidden mouth blown vessel, and is based on the autobiographical notion of personality existing in layers created by natural cycles and the juxtaposition of external and internal expectations and societal influences. Using a colour palette based on the Jungian interpretation of alchemical processes, endogeny is a study of form in respect of the artist’s mind and considers her relationship with society, which has created doubt and conflicted emotions, values and principles, both detestable and irresistible. The perpetual dilemma of how to be part of a world in which we feel compelled to reject, a world in which we feel invisible, has led to a realisation that the individual alone is responsible for their existential presence in the universe and it is that essence that must be afforded the time and space to develop, or grow, from within.
