41 paintings from the series included in this soft cover 20 page book. A good gift item for anyone going through this type of life altering passage. It took 41 days (the same as the numbers of pages in the document) for Tilly to deeply mourn the loss with a daily practice of a painting a day. Each of which are included in this book. This is a meditation on loss and memory. Through out the book there is a transformation visible from shock and depression with a focus on the papers to release and celebration with a new found freedom of the spirit. Whimsical and colorful images..
As an artist, I explore transforming
the material to be spiritual and harvesting the spiritual to be material. My
work blends text and image in humorous, dissonant, and melding ways to explore
security, panic, and the mortal experience.
In 2006 when my marriage started
failing, I have made a commitment to paint every
single day for as many days as the length of the divorce document. In this way I have found a voice for my sadness, my courage, and my
faith. I
recall memories and visualize evocative tones that distill symbols into
paintable vignettes. A whimsical
palette, the playful brushwork and a lightness of imagery lay bare the
anxieties of a personal and yet almost universal experience.
