"Where the Seeds Began"

Composed from pages of The Handmaid’s Tale, this work gathers its form not as a figure, but as a field in motion.

Four book pages carry the image: the robe, but no longer fixed. It loosens. It lifts. It becomes a wave.

What begins as containment begins to move.

The cut traces a tide-like rhythm across the page—folds of cloth dissolving into current. Within it, fragments surface and recede: barbed wire threading through the flow; flowers drawn from the Commander’s garden; a pomegranate split open, its seeds held in suspension. The reference is quiet but insistent—fertility, myth, the descent and return of Persephone. Cycles that cannot be permanently closed.

The robe is no longer only a uniform. It becomes landscape. It becomes force.

There is a figure here, though it resists being fixed. Not depicted directly, but emerging through the movement of the cut itself—a presence rising, carried within the tide rather than bound by it.

It is not a work of despair.

It is the moment just before the turn.

As with all studio releases, each piece is cut from original book pages. The text will vary. The paper will carry its own subtle differences. No two are precisely the same, though the form remains constant.

The artwork is A3 in size (297mm x 420mm)

Presented in a hand-finished white wooden box frame with UV, anti-reflection glass.
