Rubedo embodies the final stage of the alchemical magnum opus that commenced with Nigredo and Albedo. The ‘turning to gold’ or attainment of the sublime, with symbolism such as the rose and the sacred blood. Actions of pouring, turning and hand gestures are used throughout the Rubedo series. The slow and deliberate movement of hands echo ritual gestures used in both western ceremonial magick and more shamanstic practices, as well as the kinds of hand poses seen particularly in Italian Baroque art. Creation of the costumes and objects used in these videos is integral to my practice. The physical making involved is, for me, a manifestation of the ritual process intrinsic to the work as a whole.
