Anmerkung : These works are framed in custom-made frames designed by the artist. Kites and balloons are images that have appeared in Judith Mason’s work over many years as metaphors for freedom and a release from the limitations of earthly confines. ‘I love kites’, the artist explains, ‘like birds, they fly and escape and you can say that they’re signs of spirituality … Every time I see [them], I get a terrific kick. You know, I feel my heart leap!’.1 1.
