The ACCIDENT
One week Gaza…....... next week Victorian Bushfires
This image was created with the bushfires in mind BUT I have found myself looking and returning to look at this image over and over and feel this overwhelming sadness.
As I read about the sad death of NATASHA RICHARDSON I now understand why this image disturbed me so greatly…..........................................................................................................................................................
I wrote my story on the day I read about NATASHA RICHARDSON. The day of the ACCIDENT is the day I walked down a different path…....(I think I only left the story on the net for some hours but the casting into space was cathartic)

Thank you for sharing your true story, and this wonderful art work. I can relate as when we witness these traumatic events something shatters within us and the fear of the reality it so much for our mind to handle. I also love to create as it helps me to deal with things in my mind and heart, and helps me have compassion for others who suffer and those who cannot understand the fragile nature we all can suffer when we have shocking incidents in life that wound our pysche and break our hearts, art is the most wonderful tool to help us heal and express what cannot be seen inside.

sorry I deleted all the comments yesterday but felt rather like I was opening my mind for you to step in have a look and felt a little fragile about it /I guess
BUT I do appreciate all who commented and sent messages.
I had some very special japanese friends visit Melbourne this week and guess with the NATASHA RICHARDSON article combined set me to open my old wounds which no longer haunt me but it helps to understand why one creates at times….....
