Kita uses her complicated love of the human body expressed through her artwork to explore and recontextualize existing mythos and magical archetypes, and bring fables of her own imagining to life. Kita believes art and storytelling are inextricably linked, and that the stories we hand down are the lineage and bloodline of our cultures – which is why it’s so important to her that the perspective of these stories gets explored, challenged, and updated, and that we are able to see ourselves in these figures of legend. If folklore is the everyman’s heritage, but we can’t see ourselves in it…how do we cultivate a sense of belonging? If the figures that look like us are only ever cast as victims, mothers or whores…what are we to believe we have the potential to become?

So come, walk with Kita in the light of Mother Moon and take in these Mythopoetics – an attempt to better understand ourselves through storytelling. Join Kita in her alchemical creating and merging of image and narrative – welcome to her world of Moonlit Mythopoetics…
