SPIRITUS LOCI
There usually is more in E. B. Rothwell's etchings than first meets the eye. That is true in her Spiritus Loci series where she has created a game, while interpreting an ancient belief. If these images appear to be merely historical and imaginary figures, look again. Rothwell has given human form to shapes that exist in nature. She leaves it up to the viewer to discover their identities.
The ancient fabulists believed that those who had a hand in shaping history left their images upon the land. The artist asks us to retain some of that pre-rational vision which sees what nature has provided -- a mystery upon which to exercise our imaginations.
