“Into the Mouth of the Wolf” (In bocca al lupo) is the Italian saying for good luck in the theater. In this exhibition of 20 new works, the wolf and a host of other cultural symbols embody the narratives we tell ourselves to explain happiness and heartbreak. Greenwood’s work integrates these compelling tales with references to literature, poetry, myths and classical paintings, creating a super-narrative that examines contemporary experiences alongside the myths of our collective past; our familiar selves, alongside the darker aspects of personality. The inclusion of references to the great works of art history and personal symbols allows these works to speak not only to the artist, but also to a much larger audience.
