Inspired by the ritual of anatomical votives from across the ancient world, I built a sculptural homage to the womb in plastic, a material symbol of humanity’s dominance over nature. In human arrogance we strive to control our rituals of passage and our fates.  I am interested in the mystery of creation and our layers of consciousness. From within this colossal symbol of femininity, I sleep. Entombed underground I am safe but unconscious. In birth, death and sleep we exist, but how can we exist unconsciously?  I accompany the installation with a sound installation made from fragments of my sleep talking,  words I never said yet spoken by my voice.
