· For Those Without Voice, Without Home ·

This short piece is the first of a suite of three works that are dedicated to those with no home.
Our Homeless Voice

Visual Artworks
The portrait 'Homeless' attempts to present a person with no home as considered and thoughtful, as well as someone in need of care and support.
The second artwork below that accompanies the music is an abstract expression that seeks to show the lives of the homeless as complex and vibrant.
The homeless are often depicted negatively. I wanted to create a more positive representation of those without a home. I glimpse the shape of a body here and there, a person making, another talking, another reaching out.
The beauty of shape and colour is undeniable, as is the value of each individual.
