"Crone 2, Gift 2"
by Meghan DeRoma

These pieces blur the lines between narrative, representation, and abstraction. Exploring archetypal symbols and themes of the intricacy and nuance of human relationship-our relationship to Self, other humans, the "other", (wo)man's relationship with nature, and our own inherent wildness.

Overlaying themes include curiosity, gestural flow, and a sly-smile approach to obscured symbolism and playful mixed metaphor.
