VICTORIA SCHOLES

Domestic Gospels VII
Kiln cast glass
37cm x 25cm x 17cm


Inspired by a scene from the ‘Wizard of Oz‘ where Dorothy, after all her technicolour adventures, goes back to her black and white existence and announces that all her heart desires can be found in her own back yard. This series challenges Dorothy, looking at the tension that exists between those things that define us, and the simultaneous need for transformation and escape.
