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.

Lynley George is a multi-media artist based in Sydney. Through exploring her embodied life as a woman, she attempts to create work that negotiates the corporeal and the abject. She aims to un-shame, thus celebrate attributes historically associated with the life of women, as witnessed in her own life. Through playful and tactile forms, she elevates subjects often kept 'beneath the surface' in both art and societal discourse, encouraging viewers to engage with her work.
