Apparition
Liza Phoenix, 2002

Barely there, this tiny fae emerges from the canvas in a ghostly haze. Caught in the first stages of visitation, the subtle outline could be just a blur in your vision but yet, there is shape there, recognisable and light filled. As your eyes focus it becomes clearer although still ephemeral, and you become aware that at any moment it could leave again. You forget to breathe, all noises fade, time stops as the outline becomes more solid. The wing tips shimmer, flexing gently, highlighted by the light from above. And finally you realise that this is a baby, its thumb securely in its mouth, possibly on the verge of its first flight. A truly enchanting experience.
