EMMA
&
the Wild and Gentle Celt
- A Tasmanian Love Story
"My
original inspiration for this story was a tiny fragment of
china with the name Emma on it, that I dug from my garden
in Tasmania at the age of 14. I believe the fragment was part
of a cup - the rest is a mystery that my imagination has tried
to solve over the years. Emma's story has come to me in words
and images over the course of many years, and has inspired
many of my original paintings, drawings and photography which
are included in this book.
Little
did I know that it would evolve in the most synchronistic
and mysterious ways. Truth became stranger that fiction when
an old piece of china and the serendipitious appearance of
a grave side photograph from Gallipoli merged to form a potpourri
of images and words. The result - more than just a book -
Emmma & the Wild and Gentle Celt is an experience of the
soul." Purchase Book
