In The diary the artist is deeply concerned with cultural forms of ceremony, archetypes, femininity, the visceral body, and how all this links to a latent Christian symbolism. She creates a group of works using multiplicity and layering, to render visible to consciousness unconscious phenomena. In this mixed media installation, the garment functions as a ‘shocking’ element, turning the paintings into a form of ‘prop’. Its indexical image and the other cyanotypes have a ghostly appearance, as if they almost produced themselves.

In Haircut of the braid, hair bleeds after that, a symbol of mutilation, but a symbol of self-renewal as well. Some cultures believe that hair keeps your emotions and when you cut it, you let them go. In The offering she refers to the idea of Art as ritual: blood is an image of sacrifice, “stealing” from the Christian image where the blood of Jesus is drunk. “The blood of Jesus is so sacred that it is symbolically drunk to this day by believing Christians as promising redemption and eternal life”. It is represented as a stain inside and outside the glass. It is held by a feminine hand; she is offering her blood. The artist is hinting at sacrifice but also vitality and femininity, fertility, reproduction, childbirth, violence. 

While facing this duality of violence and rebirth, beauty and horror, we are reminded of the story of Venus: “After Saturn castrates Uranus, his mutilated genitals are thrown into the Sea, and from this horrific act the goddess of Beauty is born”.
