“Over a lifetime I have collected small items from the family home and my travels — representing a labyrinth of icons reaching back to childhood, where my true essence is sought. Pandora’s Boxes — the female alters in ‘Sophia and the Seven Serpents’ seen at St John’s Church — are red lined electrical kit boxes once used in secondary science classes. They are symbolic of the ancient vessel of blessings, and of the procreative aspects of the Great Womb”.

(Excerpt from Sophia’s Sacred Cycle, 2005)
