This work had such deep meaning for me; that I found myself ‘catching my breath’ a bit when it sold. As happens often, it formed from a surface that I have been reworking over many months. The figure finally and unexpectedly resolved after several layers of constructing and deconstructing; where quite magically a ‘halo’ of sorts framed the head and then that of a ‘wing’ seemed to emerge from the space behind the figure. The dog image in the foreground also ‘worked’ once I embraced her in shimmering gold.
