Written By Claudia Elliott

Each piece and experience I create serves as a bridge between the divine and the arcane, a vessel through which the hidden truths of our collective unconscious are brought to light.
My work seeks to illuminate the profound dualities that define human existence—the interplay of light and shadow, known and unknown, sacred and profane. Drawing upon the timeless power of myth, poetry, play, and storytelling, I breathe life into ancient symbols, archetypes, and forgotten gods, reviving their resonance within our modern psyche.
These mediums allow me to weave narratives that transcend time and culture, inviting viewers to explore the primordial roots of human experience and their own inner landscapes. Through my art, I aim to transform the intangible into the tangible, forging a space where the origins of our psyche can be felt and understood.
My creations act as portals to a deeper realm, offering a meeting point between the eternal and the ephemeral, the universal and the personal. It is in this alchemy of the timeless and the contemporary that I seek to evoke wonder, self-reflection, and a reconnection with the profound mysteries that shape us all.
