Theodora Allen's first monograph, Saturnine, is now available for pre-order. Published by Motto Books and with text by Stephanie Cristello, Saturnine is released on the occasion of the artist's first solo museum exhibition at Kunsthal Aarhus in Denmark, opening on May 14, 2021.
Drawing from music, literature, myth and nature, Allen’s meditative compositions investigate themes of temporality and eternity, exploring a space between the physical world and an interior mindscape. Interweaving the artist’s emblematic use of symbols, the exhibition and accompanying catalogue engage with a history of Saturn, the celestial body said to have been the cause of a melancholic disposition—from ancient myth and the Middle Ages through to the present.
