The Unwinding: and other dreamings

The paintings between these covers were worked in the between times – between waking and dreaming, during the unwinding of the soul, when the pressures of work were too much. Half-story, half-fairytale, Jackie Morris has created an enchanting tome, to keep on the bedside table, to give as a gift to young and old alike. Threaded through the curious world of The Unwinding are words, there to set the reader’s mind adrift from their own troubles and the into peaceful harbours where imagination can stretch, and where quiet reflection can bring peace. The Unwinding is designed to be a companion, a talisman to be turned to again and again and a place of respite from an increasingly frenetic and complex world. Dreams and wishes are the inspiration at times like this. —- ISBN: 9781783529353
