Up, up, and away


I finished this piece a few weeks back and finally got it on the computer. It is a little girl, not seen, being lifted by a bunch of stitched balloons. Why?-you and I also ask. After the work is done do I reflect. The balloons are of the girl's own making - I think sometimes we try 'lifting' ourselves, but usually it is in a way that is patched up and imperfect. It is a good effort, but in the end I'm not sure how far she will make it.
