Anomium No. 4
Anomium No. 4. The Anomium series is informed by the concept of Higonnet's "knowing child". At the heart of this work is the idea that childhood is a time of both innocence and wisdom, a window filled with purity but burdened by the knowledge of a complex and unkind world. Anomium is an examination of this transitional phase that seeks to evoke a sense of transformation that is at once haunting while retaining elements of this fading innocence, and to serve as a testament to the resilience and beauty of childhood in the face of the inexorable march towards maturity.
