Thickets and Tangles
As a kid, I loved to find secret places under shrubs and in thickets. Tangles of branches seem to collect energy and are sheltering; they are good places for making nests, which are hopeful things. I loved also to find and tie together small objects, as if to make talismans or dream nets, long before I learned what these were. The drawings also refer to the old game of Cat’s Cradle, a game of making images appear and disappear by manipulating loops of string on one’s fingers – a game that always seemed magical to me.
