Geneviere's Bier
this is an image of the tiny island that is found in the centre of a minute but magical little lake that is hidden deep inside a misty valley deep with the Hunter Valley. I think of the little lake as Geneviere’s Lake with all it’s connotations of the Authurian stories that filled my head as a child….. the time of Camelot passed into history and coloured the centuries that followed with greatness and with melancholy. Part of the power of the legend was contained in the story of Geneviere and of the Lady of the Lake who keeps the great blade Excalibur safe till it’s time comes again.
A bier is a place where a corpse or coffin rests before burial and this perfect little island in it’s setting of staggering natural beauty is the bier for my understanding of the legacy of the story of Geneviere and the Lady of Shallot.
