Sea Battle was made during a period when I was reading a lot of feminist reinterpretations and translations of greek myths. The word ναυμαχια, which means sea battle, was one of the first words I found in a book about learning the ancient greek language. It stood out to me as an unusual first word to learn in another language and I began to think about what ναυμαχια could mean from a female perspective. My re-imagining of ναυμαχια incorporates thinking about the sea in relation to waiting, looking and imagination. Vαυμαχια draws on greek myths as well as my own relationship to the sea.
