‘The metamorphosen’ is a series of paintings based on the stories by Ovid, the Roman writer who describes how people are saved from their persecutor by being changed into a tree, or a cow, or a bird. As these stories are often punishing the victim rather than saving them, I used the theme in my paintings to change the characters into women again. The labels to go with these paintings indicate their past. She is a collective memory of the girl weighing apples in the supermarket or the woman waiting in the doorway for the rain to stop, or any of all the other inspiring women I see.
