The painted story lies at the heart of Kathyn Freeman’s artworks. Symbolism and magical realism enliven her classical compositions, and her narratives nod to a universal human connection. As part of Freeman’s Animal Dreams series, Dance expresses the lyrical beauty and magic of Matisse’s eponymous cameo while prompting reflection​ on how habitat encroachment is affecting wildlife. The fox family has leapt in from the wild yet moves to the music in Freeman’s dreamlike sanctuary. And the cellist plays on.
