Carrier of Stars

——

This long legged carrier of stars was the last book I made in 2020, the year the world changed.

I wanted this book to acknowledge loss, while focussing on the connection, awakening and solidarity that had stemmed from this time globally.

Each star was given the name of someone whose journey on Earth had ended that year.

The #areyoubookenough community named the stars, upon my request.

And with our loss we made the sky a little bit brighter
