The world of Brigid Ashwood is one where clockwork angels tread shadowed paths with ethereal spirits and absinthe fairies frolic with insectile muses. Her works are soldered with brassy steampunk, and then immersed in ancient myth and fairy tale. Archetypes are at play here - challenging conventional ideas about their roles - their emotions and their motivations. Once broken dolls they have pieced themselves together of their own imagining - engineering their existence - they break through their glass coffins and emerge - for better or worse - wholly their own. Her works read like stories, their haunting presences seeming to reach out from the page, ready to speak their minds, and issue you into their mysteries.
