'The Huluppu Tree'
A new relief work of clay on wood depicting a reimagining of the famous Burney Relief plaque. The story of the Huluppu Tree is recorded in an ancient Mesopotamian poem - Inanna plants the tree in her sacred grove to grow and in time be used to fashion a throne and bed. But monsters take up residence in it, a serpent amongst the roots, an Anzu bird in its branches and a lilitu (Lilith) in the trunk. It has long been debated whether the Burney Relief depicts Inanna or Lilith (or someone else). In this piece I will let the viewer choose for themselves :)

Play with sound! This is a short clip from Liverpool Cathedral’s subterranean Lady Chapel where they have a Mother’s Day project that is playing overlaid audio in different languages of refugee women reciting Julia Ward Howe’s Mother’s Day Proclamation. Really effective!
