“Persephone” is a study of duality: daughter: mother, youth : age, darkness : bright, upper world : underworld, springtime : autumn. In imagining the Queen of the Dead, I sought to portray the ongoing interactive “bothness” at play in her symbology—the inward turning and the outward reflection contained inside each of us.

In her poem “Persephone the Wanderer,” Louise Glück notes that, “the return of the beloved does not correct the loss of the beloved.” We are born to, lost by, and continue yearning for our beloveds beyond the veil of death. We reach out with hungry palms for that which can be felt and briefly held, but not possessed or contained. The figure of Persephone embodies this dynamic tension for me.
