This year has been very difficult for me and my family. We had a tragic death occur. It brought up a lot of my own issues with child safety and how I've dealt with it in the past. The imagery that's come to mind is of hot air balloons. There's danger in them but also beauty. The unpredictability of trusting a device that floats on the wind is intriguing. When I was a child I would lay down in the driveway and stare up at the sky. I was terrified of being pulled up into the clouds but couldn't pull my eyes away from the vastness. The colored images are done in colored pencils.
