SPACE B
SPIDER BITE EQUALS DIZZY HEAD
ROSIE KAVANAVOCH
“Opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.”- The Kyballion
Spider Bite Equals Dizzy Head is Rosie Kavanavoch’s first collection of silk scarves, inspired by the duality and deceptiveness of love. In these images lies a relationship. A sensory, intangible tempest in an indeterminate realm where emotions dictate an unending search for meaning, mystery and miracle. A BYO of the self, spilling over into the other; and the rise, fall and ache that charts its fateful course. These works draw us into the all-consuming nature of love, the shifting relationship between the object and the subject of desire. Like Rorschach butterflies, these evocative images split the nature of obsession into shards of kaleidoscopic beauty.
All is fair in love and war.
