A series of renowned historic etchings counterbalance new artworks that depict or disrupt 'witch iconography' and impressions of witchcraft. Second Sight gives precedence to inexplicable occurrences, expressions of difference, the supernatural, sexual power, and the potency of the natural world in ways that are bodily and visceral yet also incorporeal.
