Note : 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 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.
