Hello from Hope Christofferson
I believe in the continued use of fantasy as a tool to digest reality through play. I’m fascinated by how folklore once rationalized events like lightning, rainbows, love, death, and plagues. I draw parallels between the functions of folklore and the scientific counterparts that have come to replace it. Fueled by my deep love for nature, I incorporate personal symbology derived from my past to illuminate the sacred significance of plants and animals within human life.
I reference folklore and myth to show how in a contemporary context ancient tales take on new meanings- becoming warped reflections of society’s current needs. The metaphorical power of art allows me to understand my own anxiety around the future.
