Who is Aurora?
At her sixteenth birthday, she would shed blood and fall asleep for a hundred years, The Sleeping Beauty.
Would this mean she doesn't age? Doesn't grow? Doesn't develop? Doesn't evolve? Doesn't come of age?
"Does a story really have to have happened, to be true?" a famous anthropologist once said -
What Story?
So the Sleeping Princess Aurora is ageless, existing out of time. But coincidentally, Aurora also means dawn; a bringer of light in the darkness - the Artist's task.
My intent is to take you on a journey of discovery through myths, stories and history, through the voices of women - I warmly welcome you to my world of long gone fairytales and half-forgotten dreams, taking place somewhere between sleep and awake -
What is Aurora's Chamber?
There is such an etheral sadness to the story of a sleeping, maybe dying, princess. Where is the coming queen?
Aurora's Chamber is a space; a chamber - bed chamber, treasure chamber or perhaps tomb chamber - for dreaming Princesses, and for coming Queens.
With love; to my mother, to my sister, to my daughter. To every mother, every sister, and every daughter.
