A red bird symbolises the love outside me. The silver web symbolises my love. The bird has landed and got its feet caught in the web and lifted it flying off into the sky.
A snap shot from childhood: Mum used to thread fresh meat on to string and attach streamers to it. When the Hawks came to scavenge they would pick the meat up in their beaks and fly away with the streamers flapping. These entertainments were what made school holidays special.
Another snap shot: 21/7/1969, Dad picks us girls up from school and takes us home so we can sit around the table and listen to the radio broadcasting mans first steps on the moon. I remember sitting there recording the broadcast on my tape machine and knowing it was something that should be saved for the future. I was 8. There were fears around, that when the first contact with moon happened that the world would end. ....I had that tape for many years, but it got lost along the way. How valuable would that have been for our family history now? The noises and sounds of that day, especially my mums voice - priceless.
