Stumps Gillian Bickley - UK
The stumps of slender branches protrude from the water. Where are the roots, from which these amputations have been sawn or sliced? Have you seen the forest with lopped off bodies? ─ Its low stumps remind us of limbless human bodies, also sacrificed to others’ desires.
13 April 2004
