World Journey reflects, in sketchbook form, our thoughts on living in the world today - the physical and emotional human struggle that can lead to decisions as an individual, parent or family, to undertake a potentially horrific, yet hopeful journey, with no certainty of success.

We hope the book like the person, survives the journey.  The hand formed glass leaves are deliberately thin, rough and uneven reflecting fragile and uncertain circumstances. The prints are tacked onto handmade ephemeral paper.  Soft leather binding as straps like lifelines should hold all secure. The re purposed red leather cover reflecting both the marks of the journey, high emotion and the emblem of the RNLI.

Conversations between us as glass artist and printmaker reflecting our own paths of enquiry, are illustrated by notes on the hand formed glass with etching responses at each stage – a Wonderful World moves into a desire for Sanctuary, the emotional Wrench of leaving, Lies told by people and organisations along the way, finally to Flee to what next.
