Desolate

The #cantfly series of watercolour paintings was inspired after a long admission in hospital, and the challenges faced after discharge.  Each depicts a challenge to re-engage with society, and the fears within that – although you have wings – you will forever be tethered to the ground.

“Desolate” – facing away from the audience, hunched shoulders, but brilliant wings behind her. A feeling of immense sadness follows me with this painting, but the beauty of the wings gives me hope.
