Denise de Cordova's (b. 1957) recent practice grows out of research conducted during a residency in British Columbia, Canada, where she investigates the trope of the female body to create embodied place-portraits and open forms of visual storytelling. Elements drawn from landscape, costume, climate, folklore, and oral histories feed directly into her making process.
The work centres on the female figure as a vessel for ideas, symbols, and ancient echoes-figures who exist both within and beyond the visible world. - the terra mater goddesses of our imagination. I draw inspiration from maenads, deep-wood women, and other mythic presences who move through the forested imagination with equal parts power, mystery, and mischief.
