Saved by Love - Silverpoint on Antique BookJune 2010
This month I'm working on some new personal art pieces - one in particular called "Sacred Heart" that is really coming along beautifully. Follow me on Twitter for the most up to date information!
The world of Brigid Ashwood is one where clockwork creatures tread shadowed paths with ethereal spirits and 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.
