OH, TO BE RID OF YOU is a response to the Wold Cyanotype Day (2020) prompt "Interconnected".
It explores the ties of love; the ones that last forever, whether you like it or not… 'Oh, to be rid of you' came about through a series of digital scribblings and doodles, to explore this sense of binds that even when they appear to be broken are never truly gone. A sense of them still encircling your growth, surrounding you as you flourish; not so much to hold you back, but enough to feel restricting.
The larger “Oh” came naturally with the flow of the other patterns, with the “to be rid of you” also feeling instinctive but you may notice this is a lot smaller, just as the small voice we use in our uncertainty.
The design was made digitally, using a photograph of a giant daisy after the rain.
