The imagery in Sylvia’s relief prints is both playful and somber, with narratives that have an undercurrent of longing, uncertainty and ambiguity. She often uses images of animals in her work, as she finds them to be perfect alter egos and has always felt a profound sense of kinship with them. Although much of the work is inspired by stories that are deeply personal, viewers can relate to the underlying sentiments that are shared universally.
