Forsaken Son

Inherited Trauma

‘Forsaken Son’ was made during a residency at Mapstone Studio in Devon, UK. It was originally inspired by the ancient greek Minotaur Myth. It speaks to the chain of abuse and denial that is passed from Father to Son and the psychological burden of damaged masculine energy. A documentary called The Work was also part of the inspiration for this piece, as well as some images from the Australian Ballet’s production of Spartacus.

Award

‘Forsaken Son’ was awarded an Honorable Mention in the 14th ARC International Salon.
