AND DOLPHINS TOOK POSSESSION OF THE WOOD (working title)
is a short artist’s film about the dialogue between two female artists and friends. As the conversation evolves and mutates, the artists lean over the myth of Deucalion and Pyrrha in Ovid’s Metamorphosis and into the life and work of surrealist painter Leonora Carrington. An exploration of birth, potency & impotency.
