Contemplating the past, present and future of becoming, Willows’ transverses time in “She Named Herself Spot Willows”. A strenuous relationship between personas is explored to ponder the responsibility for manufacturing oneself. The work is crafted from casts of Willows’ own body, antiques and material relics which she uses to explore a space between existence and objecthood.

The work reimagines early science fiction aesthetics through a contemporary lens, with inspiration from the original story of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.

Willows’ feminine perspective and whimsical tingle bring life and intrigue to the gallery setting. Delivering an ode to the act of creation in itself.
