There are artists who bide their time, waiting for the world to receive their work. During the ups and downs of a creative career, few artists can work with such conviction. Ithell Colquhoun was steadfast, with a devotion to practice that was magical and singular.

Colquhoun’s practice in ceremonial magick, her writings about Cornwall and Celtic lore and her experiments in automatic surrealist processes created a maelstrom of creative genius that is exciting to receive. But her work was also a magical operation. The work she left behind, is a creative battery that continues to operate on audiences, with its sheer beauty and magical undertones.
