(Framed under Glass) Graphite drawing on A1 paper

This artwork is composed of the first line of a poem I wrote.

I will always write letters to you in my mind,

I will remember you always until the end of time,

I am the dewy breeze blowing moisture on the root,

The golden web strands entangle.

The work is about never forgetting. Behind the text is the tree of life from norse mythology. In the old stories of the the north the tree of life which is an allegory for the universe, is sustained by Mimir’s well. The well its self is filled with memory but the water of this well contains much wisdom. Memory may be painful if one is mourning loss. However what grows from the droplets of memory is understanding, reconciliation and forgiveness. This artwork is a letter to all the people in the world I have known and loved and who are no longer in my life. Memory brings the future world into existence and sustains the root of the soul.
