Rich in color, symbols and imagery, Honora Jacob’s work draws from a cache of personal iconography combining a variety of visual elements to explore feminine archetypes in our contemporary context and their relation to a historical past. From nests to mathematical notations, this symbolism alludes to questions of feminine duality, intuition and fertility. Informed by both personal experiences and those of the collective female, this collage of references illustrates a manifestation of the contemporary female subconscious.
