Our
illustration for this issue has been supplied by Chloe
Cumming, daughter of regular Nurturing Potential contributor
Rob Cumming.
She
writes: "The
large bearded figure is based on a saint from a Rembrandt
etching, possibly St. Peter. Giants and people of
intimidating proportions looming out of the earth or from
beyond the horizon have become a recurring theme. These
large people are never fully visible in their entirety,
and that is significant. Their origin is not available to
the knowledge of the others in the picture. The non-
gender-specific guitar player is the main focus, or the
most human, empathetic figure here. The leopard is an
interested bystander. "
