Bloodsucker Head

Ink on Kozuke paper, 85.5 x 61 cm
Bloodsucker Head draws its name from a particular Green Man – a significant local symbol in Marshall’s native Hastings – often found carved on churches where they supplanted sites of pagan worship. The artist herself serves as the source image for the head, depicted with foliage bursting from within. The suppressed nature – the mandrake inside – strains to emerge, unable to be ignored any longer.
