Paintings

The Eva series has always been at the forefront of the collection. The artist saw Eva as symbolising all human life and as it is her children who have, through their destructive behaviour, caused their own downfall it is she who must be tormented on their behalf. Only through her physical suffering can humanity be freed from its fate before re-emerging from beneath the seas to proclaim, together with its saviour, a new era of enlightenment. Such was the artist’s vision. It is a vision that has lead to a series of largely anatomical self-portraits that many people consider her finest work.
