Really proud to have the piece Love and Terror used as BELLSAINT’s cover art for her new single “WFNEO”.
Love and Terror is a mixed media work from 2010 that was inspired by Emerson’s words in ‘The Problem’ in which life is described as the physical cumulation of decisions we build around us like a house:
“Such and so grew these holy piles / Whilst love and terror laid the tiles.”
I couldn't be happier to collaborate with my sister, combining these two complimentary works and giving voice to an anthem calling for change based on our collective coming together in love and bravery. In her words:
“If you look closely at the painting, you can see this line inscribed on the left edge of the mountain. “Love and terror” feels like a good way to describe the collective trauma we’ve been experiencing during this pandemic (& basically the past 4 years), and it reflects the emotion of “WFNEO” perfectly.”
We f*ing need each other.
