A small but dense little artwork telling the story of one of life's great transitions towards New Life.
"...and so I return into myself, calling home the fragments of my being to Hold them Fast. It is enough, to hold myself close, in embrace, and remember who I am. For I am a seed, waiting to germinate after a long drought, into Life once more".
Collecting the elements of what makes a life and letting go of what no longer serves, this work speaks of the retreat within oneself as if within a cocoon. There are times in life when we need to rest a while and work out what is required to move to the next stage. Working with many pieces of cyanotypes, cut to shape, and exposure in the sunlight using turmeric and other chemical reactions for colour and effect. Once the collage is put together the work is finished by hand with additional illustration and painting.
