Cerberus

In ancient Greek, then Roman mythology, Cerberus is a three headed dog who guards the underworld entrance, preventing deceased souls from leaving, and the living from entering their realm. Here he’s based on a real dog, once briefly trapped within an archaeological site enclosure, between several overlapping worlds, racing for an exit. This  abandoned field will soon become a housing estate but presently, trenches dug by archaeologists are still visible. Diverse fauna and plants that have existed here for millennia, cannot be saved by this spirit dog. They may survive, if only on the margins of the expected urban overspill.

Jenny resides in South Somerset. She primarily paints and prints landscape related, partly imaginative imagery mainly using earth pigments. Recently she became involved with photographically documenting the progress of a local archaeological dig ahead of new- build, including plant and animal life and changing weather environmental conditions around the site.
