mood for ARIES: abstract artist in 1980s new york, inspired by the ram ghost that haunts her apartment block.
Mood for TAURUS: a sheriff's daughter abandons her arranged wedding to explore the wild west with her demon bull friend, in over-saturated 1950s movie colours.
Mood for GEMINI: every 100 years, a pair of immortal twins travel up to the clouds to manifest a new physical form.
Mood for CANCER: she emerges from the inky blackness of the midnight ocean, turns from crab into human, to patrol the empty beaches and gaze up at the stars.
Mood for LEO: queen of a desert-roaming lion pride attempts to fit into human life in a city.
Mood for VIRGO: I wanted this one to focus on society’s obsession with preserving the ‘intact virgin’ of a young woman to establish her worth. The Virgo girl is in the iconic prom queen/debutante image of late teens ‘blossoming womanhood’. She has hands grabbing her while also possessing grabby hands of her own. The passion fruit, like fruits in culture around the world, is a symbol of her ‘intactness’, here, sliced open for all to see, as people would obsess over a girl’s loss of virginity. This presence of the embroidered R is a nod to traditional, acceptable girls roles.
Mood for LIBRA: a tantric psychic who sends peaceful yet sensual vibes out through both the aether and the ethanet.
Mood for SCORPIO: weary of humankind, a woman turns into a scorpion, and finds a rusted out car in which to curl up and sleep. Anybody who disturbs her peace will be stung.
Mood for SAGITTARIUS: chainmail-clad but super glam warrior who wields a magical mini crossbow with fire-starting arrows, accompanied by her decorated steed.
Mood for CAPRICORN: sprite of death patrols wintertime forests on her lonely vigil with her goat of the netherworld by her side. They take the souls of dead creatures, of animals frozen to death in the snow, and care for them as they are safely transported into the afterlife.
Mood for AQUARIUS: a four armed medieval babe who defies the Lord of the Manor by chilling with the spirits in his fountains.
Mood for PISCES: immortal mermaid from the coast of Hong Kong who collects human trinkets and curios.
