Eos

Hand EMBROIDERED TAPESTRY DIPTYCH

Created for ‘Ancient Deities’ at Arusha Gallery, Edinburgh 2020

Preceded by the Morning Star, Eos’ tears form the morning dew adorning the grass and early mist. There is a struggle to unfurl the pink ribbon of dawn from her rosy fingers as she opens the gates of heaven for the Sun to rise. Weaving various semblances of light and awakening, dawn speaks to the significance of transition.
