Adam and Eve, a Caring Horse, and Melangell

By Heather Eastes 2020
Pencil and acrylic 90 x 70 cm In Lockdown - began as an environmental piece concentrating on the demands of industry on nature and the people (Adam and Eve expelled from paradise) serving its demands. Covid crept i n bringing symbols of the pandemic. The horse, a friend to man in mythology and in histories of labour and war comforts the fallen, a dark infant head. Melangell lies horizontal in the stream of a different sphere with her hare.
