· For Those Without Voice, Without Home ·
. . .
This short piece is the first of a suite of three works that are dedicated to those with no home.
Our Homeless Voice
·
Artwork
The artwork that accompanies this piece is an abstract expression that seeks to show the lives of the homeless as complex and vibrant.
The homeless are often depicted negatively. I wanted to make an image as a more positive representation of those without a home. I glimpse the shape of a body here and there, a person sitting on the ground, another talking, another reaching out.
The beauty of shape and colour is undeniable, as is the value of each individual.
