    much emotion and power in these – impressively so

  • being the chuck norris of childbirth that I was – I had to draw on the intensity of a 39 hour labour to produce these works :)

    no pain no gain
    pain does influence and it is sensible to re-direct it into creative expression
    has a francis bacon quality wonderfully depicted elle
