In One Nest
This mixed media charcoal sketch is a mood piece intended to capture the essence of Rossetti’s poem rather than depict a moment within the narrative. Bird imagery is rich in Goblin Market there is something about the freedom of birds flight and the tendency of humanity to capture, restrict… clip the spirits of independent creatures. Here a healthy bird nurtures a sketched sister in a moment of tragic beauty:
Cheek to cheek, breast to breast, Locked together in one nest…

a holiday and a short artistic foray
I have been working on a project based around Charlotte Perkin Gilman's short story The Yellow Wallpaper. The drawing painting and writing has been heady and intense and I hope to have the project finished sometime in 2012. Check back here as I intend to create a blog to chart the progress of my new collection and as an outlet for some of the strangeness this short story stirs in my mind.

Life drawing in a studio so cold I have to keep my coat on. Goosebumps are tricky to draw- poor me.
spend a month away from a project-come back to it and you'll realise how crazy/brilliant/tragic you are like free diving back into your mind
Back in the country and back to work! I will update my site soon with the paintings I produced while in Indonesia…rats with puppy dog tails.
Does anyone have space to take in these two abandoned cats? Mother and kitten. http://t.co/UowtVac9
