Boudicca’s Shield

10” x 10”

Monoprint made with hand-cut stencil and oil based ink.

I dreamt that as my heart expands its ability to receive the world with compassion my rib cage will have to expand to accommodate it. I was concerned in the dream. The rib cage is needed to protect our vulnerable interior! This image resulted from playing with the rib cage image. Queen boudicca was a fierce Celtic queen who led a revolt against Roman rule in ancient Britain. ‘Boudicca’, comes from the old proto-Gaelic word BOUDEG, which means ‘Victory’. And so “She who Brings Victory”.

“We have forgotten the age-old fact that God speaks chiefly through dreams and visions.”

— Carl Jung

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”

— Carl Jung
