A Study In Scarlet

Expression of oneself and of the hidden voice so seldom heard or heeded is an action of unequal power. Releasing and acknowledging all that you are to yourself allows growth of spirit.
Creativity on every level begins with ourselves. Suppression brings us only screaming souls locked within empty lives.
I wish for every voice to be heard, even as a whisper...
Cosey Fanni Tutti 1986.
