Heart (January)



 
The two faces meet in a heart shape, like a Victorian parlour game, or a surprise fold-in at the back of Mad Magazine. The faces were separate and now they are one. It is the relationship of the moment, a kiss, a caress, their lean against the other’s brow. There they stay, in uneasy proximity, her face at the front, staring with unanswered questions, a darkness around every edge. And the other half of the heart his, a face with eyes or featureless or a shadow about to vanish into inky night. [Joy Hester works at Tarrawarra Gallery, January 2019]
