Coronis
Five shadow sisters,
hybrid vulvas cradling eggs
like fragile revolutions,
splay their primal truth.
Audacity brushes their feathered veils,
while laughter—a language
of secret sins and murders ancient,
forbidden—rises, mad.


‘Coronis’ is a murder of crows representing the fearless wild female, embodying the archetype of ‘other’ akin to witches, midwives, and the secret realms of women’s knowledge. Each crow caricatures the instinctive nature of survival and reproduction, their hybrid vulvas full of eggs. Each crow is a cheeky representation of the wise, watchful and sticky beaked feminine.
