Breathing Fire exhibition by Ann Louise Baden Freya

This sculptural series pays homage to the female figures the artist has developed since her earliest engagement with clay, drawing upon narratives of spirit animals and the enduring relationship between humanity and the natural world. 
Her figurative clay practice extends from a sustained engagement with life drawing and the painted female form. The wind-swept hair of the sculptured figures operates as a symbolic device, representing the journey of grief, the perception of presence within nature, and the preservation of love as an internalized and enduring force.
