Underlying the human experience at any point in history is a fundamental cosmology that shapes how we perceive reality and how we posture ourselves in regards to it.
Duncan is interested in exploring a modern response to the mythological subjects found in the history of art, exploring this underlying force that has shaped our culture and our perception of reality.
Setting askew what we have come to know as the mythologies of others and combining these icons with our own cultural elements to bring about the sense of a hybridized co-mingling of past and present, personal experience and the collective unconscious, pop images and traditional symbols that does not deny the elemental archetypes of the human psyche but rather reasserts their existence through a reevaluation of these images.
