There is always one that swims the other way...
Trying to live ones life by ones values & beliefs, and not by the accepted unquestioned norms, can feel like swimming the wrong way, against the shoal...
It takes courage, determination & hardwork to live as you believe, to question why we live as we do, to swim against the flow....
I very much enjoyed your fish shoals at Mackerel Restaurant and now appreciate them even more that i know their meaning. Keep swimming the other way, be strong and courageous that you may prosper. Lisa Marshall, Barbados.

We were lucky enough to see and buy one of your pieces (a large lamp shade) at Alverton Gallery today. Shopping for things like lamp shades tends to remind me of why I like to swim against the shoal so it was very apt that while not shopping for one we found one of yours. It will now have a permanent and loving home in PZ for as long as we are here and it is wonderful to read about the thoughts behind your work. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tehmina, hope the sculpture brings much joy! James
