09 Nov Painted Letter
I picture hearts connected by arteries and veins. It is an imagined biology, an extended metaphor from the blood connection between mother and baby. I wanted to create a map of the bonds between us – limited in years, but significant in influence. My letter to this unborn child aims to convey a summing up of all I have learned so far, and the whole cycle of life and death. I hope it will be received as a blessing from a good fairy, although it includes signposts to the gold in the shadow. Ancestor, living and child of the future, each hold a place in the line.
