About this artwork

Kerry works from found and created photographs and film stills. At first glance she was immediately taken by the sense of poise in this image... the young ballerina strikes a ballet pose underwater and the elegant wrists, the feeling of flight, the open heart, and the upward gaze at her reflection in the waters surface represents a feeling of hope. Aptly named after Emily Dickinson's poem, "'Hope' is the thing with feathers - that perches in the… soul". The canvas has been covered in Japanese Rice Paper to give a lovely texture that is akin to the movement and the painting has been finished with a Gloss varnish - further giving the effect of moving water on the surface of the painting.
