Alicia produced this new body of work after researching the female voice in pre-Christian rituals and their role in providing safe passage, a conduit for the soul on its journey to the afterlife. Informed by the banished practice of keening – the act of wailing in grief for the deceased - the work is an investigation of folklore and rituals around loss, mourning and healing. This series explores the keener as a liminal figure that exists between life and death.
