Jazmina Cininas’s practice revolves around the female werewolf. In this work, she transcribes a true event from 1623, in which thirteen Estonian women were tried as werewolves, among them Ann - the subject of this work. 

Ann confessed to the charge of werewolf but denied that she was responsible for the death of a horse and small animals. Peppered with Baltic symbols - the Estonian horse, European mink cornflower - this work explores the line between the real and imagined. It brings the viewer back to a time rife with witches, werewolves and feared femininity.

An academic, lecturer and artist, Cininas has held prestigious residencies here and abroad, received a doctorate and is represented in public collections, including the National Gallery of Victoria and the National Gallery of Australia. Her rich, howling work is alive - full moon or not - and will illuminate collections of contemporary, historical and feminist art.
