Acheron
Ruskin Degree Show, University of Oxford
"Acheron is an anti-heroic piece that challenges traditional tropes of masculinity and male power. Its elaborate architecture, paired with sensitively-rendered backlit drawings and original drawings, recalls stained-glass windows, imperial-ecclesiastical structures, triumphal military ceremonies, and the drama of Baroque paintings.
These associations are exaggerated and subverted in an off-kilter hellscape (in classical myth, Acheron is one of the rivers in Hades) that is theatrical, unnerving and poignant."
Accompanied by an original soundtrack composed and produced by William Lowry
