The Cover story

My cover has a bit of a story behind it. Next to the spine of the book is a layered construction reflecting a spine. The spine being a key to the human skeleton holds in it an element of structural importance. In this I incorporated bits of maps. Maps/Travel has, in my life, held a very important palce. The bird symbolizes the freedom of flight. Flight is how I managed to travel to a number of places in this world. The stamps are of course from different parts of the globe. The handwriting symbolizes all the postcards and letters I have written home to my family to let them know where I was and what I was up to. The snippet of headline & newspaper are from an article printed in an Australian newspaper from the year when I traveled to Australia and was trapped in the centre of the Australian desert by a torential flood. The lace is my Museum icon. I love to visit museums and art galleries when I travel. Museums tell the story of the place where I am.
