Cleanse Me Of My Past

Marcelina Amelia is an exciting contemporary artist known for her works that contemplate themes of self-acceptance, gender and representations of female sexuality.

Amelia's dark-yet-humorous art is rich in juxtapositions. She states: "I like to play at the tense borders between lust and innocence, joy and sadness, fun and pain.'

Amelia has described Cleanse Me of My Past via the medium of a poem:

Help me heal

Let the water run clean

Peel off my past

And rejuvenate my future.

Bathe me in the charcoal rivers.

Until

I am new-born.

Each giclee print is hand-coloured, and therefore unique. This piece is from a limited edition of 70, signed and numbered by the artist.
