Beyond Attachment (Portal)
2019. Archival digital print. 57 x 40cm

Description
This image forms part of the ‘Infinite Sketch’ series, and represents the power of shared stories to become a portal to another view of existing, and of navigating the psychological, emotional, conceptual, spiritual and physical environments that our existence entails.

In the book “The Attachment: Letters from a most unlikely friendship” by Ailsa Piper and Tony Doherty, email correspondence becomes the portal to gain privileged access to a unique understanding of differing world views. An unexpected Easter gift (in the form of a book) is the catalyst for an unlikely friendship that enables this candid exploration.
