Wilhelmina Peace | We All Fall Down, 2024
Etching
Media Dimensions: 81 x 79 cm
Image Dimensions: 51 x 50 cm
Edition of 8
Framed/unframed
**I create figurative pieces that explore myth, fairy tales and folklore. I am interested in how these stories employ symbolism and metaphor to dramatize metamorphosis and self-knowing. Dreams are prime material for my work, as are archetypal female figures that spring directly from my imagination. I also draw extensive inspiration from Surrealism and the role of the unconscious in art. My creative process is focused on drawing, collage and printmaking, particularly etching, lithography and bookmaking.** **In keeping with my belief that it is the role of the artist to foster a deeper, more sacred attachment to nature and community, I am firmly committed to the goals of eco-feminism and my work seeks to call attention to the urgent need to reconnect with the environment and our shared humanity. Apart from my own research into mysticism and spiritual practices around the world, I am inspired by artists/art forms, writers, thinkers and poets who seek to re-enchant us with the world and reaffirm the inherent beauty of existence.**
