Carried by Hope

Rosie Jackson 2004
Coloured zinc etching, 6 x 8 cm

“Nourishing hope is sometimes naive, but it helps us to carry on.” (Primo Levi, holocaust victim) 

Cells are multiplying rapidly underground - germs for an explosion of new awareness which will unite all people, irrespective of nationality, colour and creed. The figures stretch searching horizonhands to make contact, weaving through spectacular flowers.
