Artwork Description


This is a collage made from painted paper. It is in the format of an illuminated manuscript. The text is a bible verse. In this case in Latin. The image is of a little girl (my young self) emerging miraculously from a dragon who has eaten me. The story is that of St. Margaret of Antioch who was eaten by a dragon and released after fervent prayer.
