Miranda Whall

In Ovid’s Metamorphosis, transformation occurs during moments of crisis, often realized as an expression of intense passion. These transformations arise in specific temporal, geographical and mental places, at crossroads and different time zones. Whall navigates her way through the intricate connective tissue of vast landscapes, weaving her subjective and objective experiences of cultures together through song, poetry, swimming, loving, dreaming. Out of this comes an acknowledgement of the benefits and real disasters that genuine change can bring. Perhaps this is why the work expresses moments of existential crisis; weeping, anger, cursing, the intoxicating whispers of a lover in the night, a terrible, trembling anxiety. A sensible response to an insensible age.
