OverView

A meditation on femininity and the magic of being a woman, a girl, a daughter. Minerva's Lilies centres on two sisters, Leah and Nayomi aged, 9 and 10 as they go through the motions of 'being girls'. The visual meditation forms the experience of not only the girls' little world of magic but that of the viewer and their mother who is carefully perched around their dreamlike atmosphere.

Manhatta

January 1921 •English

Morning reveals New York harbor, the wharves, the Brooklyn Bridge. A ferry boat docks, disgorging its huddled mass. People move briskly along Wall St. or stroll more languorously through a cemetery. Ranks of skyscrapers extrude columns of smoke and steam. In plain view. Or framed, as through a balustrade. A crane promotes the city's upward progress, as an ironworker balances on a high beam. A locomotive in a railway yard prepares to depart, while an arriving ocean liner jostles with attentive tugboats. Fading sunlight is reflected in the waters of the harbor. The imagery is interspersed with quotations from Walt Whitman, who is left unnamed.
