All art carries a message, as does history. In this image, a figure enters the house-shaped
space carrying the words "Carrying a message" and it is intended to be read
tongue-in-cheek. The use of thin graceful lines and soft colours give a
sense of the poetic while the cartoon-like figuration, and the choice of
subject matter, add a touch of humour. Various messages (with religious
overtones) are suggested in the drawings of a woman holding up a circle,
the priest holding up the host, a lying (dying) figure, the kneeling figure,
or in the two gesturing figures.
