Her work is very fascinating and mythical and she has thoughtfully put together a curated collection of her works to display.
There will be wonderful live music and refreshments available. Entry is free and donations are welcome at the door.
All proceeds go toward Coxheath Community Centre toward building and trail maintenance and future events like these!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
FOLKTAILS
The mythical Japanese nine-tailed fox, (狐, Kitsune, きつね), depicts many tails emerging from a single being. A kitsune begins her journey as an ordinary red fox (V. vulpes) gaining each tail every 100 years. The nine-tailed fox is said to be over 900 years old, gaining an abundance of power and wisdom through experience over time. Although she is able to shapeshift into human form, she typically chooses to reject societal norms, retaining her wild, untamable nature.
Our folktales also hold a power and wisdom that transcends generations. Since the dawn of humanity, and continuing on to this day, folktales share cultural perspectives and experiences. Although time and distance separate these cultures, they connect by an invisible thread of the universal human experience.
“FolkTAILS” merges both folktales and kitsune. The varying cultural wisdoms (tails) emerge from a single being (humanity/ H.sapians). My visual expressions unite the spiritual and the scientific, bringing the magical into the mundane. Each piece was created with childlike curiosity and candor, allowing for a space to freely make mistakes, and to expand on my own experiences often in unpredictable ways.
FolkTAILS exhibit is my humble story of the journey, and of evolution of the self.
