Pre-Historic Figurines

The latest work shown on this site is the result of a Masters study exploring the Pre-historic figurines found across Europe from around 30,000ya - 20,000ya. My exploration has suggested many different activities in which these figurines were used - such as in ritual ceremonies, as play objects, and mementos of loved ones. I have concentrated on the area of ritual use and produced images that show the activity and how this activity might have looked in the caves or in a specified area. Much of the work is narrative but the series called Shadows resulted from a more conceptual approach.
