KERRY'S NOTES: 'My self-portrait 'Into Thy Hands I Commend My Spirit ' portrays the precarious relationship between the creation of art & artist. My world swirls around. I sit curled into almost a fetal position. I look at my bound hands. A lifetime of fears realized. The ability to paint lost & the spirit has gone. Who will I be? Questions & uncertainty are all that remain.'
