Elizabeth Dancoes
has been my story editor and collaborator for many years and has been an incredible source of ideas, advice and energy. Her stamp has gone onto virtually everything I've written for many years and her own writing has been an ongoing inspiration to me.
Her prose piece, Lunch, is a collaboration with the fabric artist Eleanor Hannan. Her story concern a mysterious lunch that's eaten by an even more mysterious woman in an airport. This link provides you with a virtual exhibition of the show - www.liftingourskirts.com
The actual show has been seen in galleries from Vancouver, BC, to London, England.
Elizabeth introduced me to the painter, Susan Madsen, who went on to paint the covers for the Longlight Legacy. But the two of them have been collaborators for quite some time, and Susan created an incredible series of paintings based on Elizabeth's poems. It's called A Harrowing of Hell, and is based on the ancient Sumerian tale of Inanna's descent into the underworld. It's an extraordinary, breathtaking collection - www.susanmadsen.com
