Quinty Marks Time
Linda King
Hayle
Rescue ferret Quinty ran across some wet cement in 2016. In 2017 she had 10 babies and I wrote a book about it. 2018 the footprints were wearing away. 2019 I moulded them and cast resin into the mould to make an exact copy painted with enamel. Finally in 2020 I covered the back with beads, in my usual style.

A Colourful Bird
Eimaan Bhinder
Salford
I am a colourful bird, I love colours, colours of love, colours of flowers, colours of fruit and the colours of personal freedom. My nature is freedom BUT, I was trapped in a cage, a colourful cage of freedom, freedom of thoughts, freedom of choice, and personal freedom, but I only found detention, detention forever, detention of my soul, detention of my body. Where is freedom, is it freedom, a colourful cage of fake freedom
