Melancholy and yearning are beautifully depicted here in this emotionally charged minimalist figure, inspired by Alfred Lord Tennyson's 'Mariana'.
She only said, "My life is dreary,
He cometh not," she said;
She said, "I am aweary, aweary,
I would that I were dead!".
Yet, despite the sad theme, the overall impression of this mixed media work, is one of serenity and beauty. Wisdom gained through loss. Hope battling despair.
