What does love cost? How can we pay it? Why do we pay it when the cost is often tears, blood, heartache? Lost love and the politics of love feature in every mythology. Drawing on figures such as Narcissus, Apollo and Daphne, Adonis and Aphrodite, and Saint George and the Dragon, each work questions aspects of the human journey. Think of them as not so much retelling familiar tales but creating newly painted landscapes of the psychology that drives humans to love and myth make. The myth becomes the vehicle for expressing the present; the pull between self and other and the cost of longing.
