A series of vibrant paintings that include animal subjects, Heads & Tails by artist Karlee Rawkins’ explores the idea of connection; how we relate to nature, how we relate to each other, how we face situations.
“The animal heads are more like masks than portraits of a particular animal, I see them as a totem or archetype. I hoped to create a sense of ritual and narrative with these works, they mark a moment in time; a transition. I’m particularly interested in occult and folk arts, and how imagery can be seen as protective, transformative or magical.”
