With the onset of the 15th century, artists returned to portraying allegories of life using classical symbolism. These esoteric traditions continued through the Renaissance but waned and nearly disappeared by the late 18th century.

In this new body of mixed media work, Hood revisits these classical and traditional symbols and brings them into a cross-cultural and sometimes surreal setting where they are given new life.
