New work - smaller version of '12 Exaltations of Elizabeth'

Sold lots of books over the weekend - really good exhibition (even though it was rained out)! Made a smaller version of 12 Exaltations of Elizabeth - Diary of a pregnant Pensioner which went down really well.

12 Exaltations of Elizabeth

‘12 Exaltations of Elizabeth (Diary of a pregnant pensioner)’ is a sculptural handmade book. It is a humourous account reading between the lines of the Gospels of Luke and John concerning Elizabeth’s pregnancy with John the Baptist. It plays on Elizabeth’s inner thoughts giving the story a modern narrative whilst considering the dilemma of being pregnant in later life and a miraculous birth. It attempts to open up the viewers thoughts and reflections concerning  the story.
