Have you been forced to stare into the cavernous depths that reach up and engulf the weary and the hearsick.?
Have you raged against the emptyness and yearned for your arms to be filled?
Have you been denied?
Have you talked in the dark of night to the child of your hopes and dreams but not of your reality?.
Have you felt the pain of loss, and been left to deal with the anonymity of your child?. The child that never took a breath?. The child that while so real to you, is nothing more than an uncomfortable topic of conversation not to be discussed?.
Have you walked the lonely path, anonymous in your grief and your yearning?
I have heard you. I have seen you. I am you.
This work is yours.
"Homage to the Anonymous" was a labour of love. While deceptively simple in its appearance, this work has many many hours of love, of thought, or hope poured in to it.
It has been created with hundreds of small squares of paper, cut from the faces in magazines and photos. Taken from the anonymous faces in anonymous magazines.
Each of these small fragile pieces of paper carry a tremendous burden. They represent all the faceless, nameless, anonymous women who know infertility.

This is a work in progress.... more to come.
