“Celestia; Poison Pact (of a Failed Artist And His Muse)” 24″x18″. Phil Barrington, 2014. Polielettronica print from colour transparency with dye. Edition of 3.

“I am unlike a mortal lass
From dreams of longing I have passed
I came upon your lonely cries
Revealed beauty to your eyes
So shun the world that you have known
And spend your nights within my own.

I shall be thy lover…

You shall be known by other men
For your great works of voice and pen
Yet inspiration has a cost
For with me know your soul is lost
I’ll take your passion and your skill
I’ll take your young life quicker still.”
Heather Alexander.

Polielettronica print from colour transparency with dye. Edition of 3.

“I am a creature of the Fey
Prepare to give your soul away
My spell is passion and it is art
My song can bind a human heart
And if you chance to know my face
My hold shall be your last embrace.

I shall be thy lover…

Through the kisses that I give
I draw from you that I will live
And though you think this weakness grand
The touch of death your lover’s hand
Your will to live has come too late
Come to my arms and love this fate” Heather Alexander.

“Octavia; The Rustyard of All Conflicts”

“Octavia; The Rustyard of All Conflicts” 18″x24″. Phil Barrington, 2014.
Polielettronica print with dyes and debris. Edition of 3.

“In the book ‘Soldiers on the Home Front’ I was greatly struck by the fact that in childbirth alone, women commonly suffer more pain, illness and misery than any war hero ever does. And what’s her reward for enduring all that pain? She gets pushed aside when she’s disfigured by birth, her children soon leave, her beauty is gone. Women, who struggle and suffer pain to ensure the continuation of the human race, make much tougher and more courageous soldiers than all those big-mouthed freedom-fighting heroes put together.” Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl.
