Artist’s secret thoughts
Falling for a man who lives in a foreign country, more often than not, is a recipe for disaster… BUT… Stubbornness, obstinacy and perhaps inexperience encourage one to act and deal with any consequences (of course there will be no consequences because everything will work out just fine!!). Later with hindsight it’s easy to say of course it didn’t come to anything, but life is a journey in which we live, and we learn. Sometimes there is pain, and we have to deal with that. This piece is an ode to the loss of something that was once very special.

I found to express what
I wanted to say in
a direct way”

Artist’s secret thoughts
Friendship, relationships, familial bonds can be so difficult! This piece is about trying to tread as carefully as possible, whilst staying friendly and on good terms with all, but simply never being able to say what you would dearly wish to say. This is not a work about relaxing; it’s a work with edge and dynamism. The protagonist holds her head high as she glides across the eggs completely aware of the danger! Of course, some of the eggs do get smashed, but she strolls on by, safe in the knowledge that she is doing her best in difficult circumstances.
