Description

Fine art relief print of cloud, flower, young female figure and bird in black in front of repeating light blue boats. This is print 1 of 12. Artist Statement: "I feel the lockdown experience has brought forth such strong differences and divisions. Those of us in good health on the sidelines have to adjust to restrictions and financial pressures and keep our morale strong, while there are thousands, suffering, dying and mourning in their own private hell, and alternately those actively battling on the frontline toil relentlessly with emotional trauma and unsafe conditions, risking their lives to keep the population from peril. The print explores the strength of the spirit in adversity in these challenging times. ‘Shadows of Frailty 2’ looks at our vulnerability in the pandemic; how our feeling of safety is undermined with a common threat to survival and the heightened awareness of our own mortality. The print explores the strength of the spirit in adversity in these challenging times.”
