Envelope

Envelope-
This is a work mounted on cardboard and constructed from envelopes, paint, marker pen and digital images from a home printer.
Envelope is a response to loss, regret and the ‘what ifs’ that seem to come with grief. The main central text in the piece refers partly to the only white envelope in the work, a letter never opened because the intended recipient had died. It also refers to the confusion and anguish that the bereavement related to the letter had brought. The address on the white envelope was that of my father’s, the return address my own address. The whole image is designed to look like a very large envelope, a reflection of the growth of grief that accompanied the loss.
