And an attempt by me when
I couldn’t find the words...
I’d asked a friend for
something to put up on my fridge and the line she gave me was a play on the
expression ‘to play or keep your cards close to your chest’ or not to tell
others what you are intending to do. The image she created was of a card player
holding her cards close to her chest, but holding them face out. Of someone guarded
and secretive, yet bold and open.
But I couldn’t find
any words to do with cards so I chose songs and spells instead – something revealing,
something compelling. And something to suggest her contradictions – her many
selves, the rarest of which being the most expressive and inspired, and perhaps
the best...
