bird with moon Original by Hannah Merrill
collage mixed media
In response to my dual nationality British/American. I traveled to the US with this canvas and dipped it in the ocean, then traveled back and seeped it in Yorkshire tea. The image of the bird flying yet pinned down is a metaphor for my travel in a time when travel is restricted. The stitching, a response to the creation of a history of my life lived in both places, stitching my own story with two different threads.
