This proposal is for a new collaborative project between performance artists Hollie Miller and
Samantha Sweeting who make work about the female body politics through a mythological
framework, and who have both recently become mothers. They are interested in exploring the
space of The Crypt Gallery through the open framework of Womb/ Tomb to capture imagery of
birth/ death/ rebirth cycles.
