“Santos’ meticulously drawn surfaces contain a vocabulary of imagery originating from an exploration of a ‘self’ that is neither fixed nor stable. The drawings celebrate the multiplicity and hybridity of the body proper and the body as environment/landscape. Childhood games, Filipino folk-tales of the Asuang witch/vampire characters, natural decay and decomposition, and geological processes of erosion, striation and crystal formations, come together to both map and dissect a reconfigured and monsterised self.”

Through the works that comprise Coven Ring, Marigold Santos continues her exploration of notions of transformation, fragmentation and the multiplicity that is an inherent part of the self. These are rooted in an underlying visceral exploration of ‘home’ and ‘identity’.

In this exhibition, Santos creates a ‘personal mythological landscape’ drawing upon elements from her Filipino heritage that she combines with Western folklore. She applies these to images drawn from physically demanding sports such as boxing. The result confronts the viewer with a tension that forces self-examination of the multiple dimensions of his- or herself.
