Magic Within

THIS IS AN ULTRA SPECIAL COLLECTION OF ABSTRACT FLUID PAINTINGS WHICH WERE CREATED IN 2022 AFTER SARAH RELIVED HER AMAZING ONE & ONLY NATURAL BIRTHING EXPERIENCE.
IN 2019 SARAH WAS, RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY, DIAGNOSED WITH TOKOPHOBIA WHICH IS A FEAR OF PREGNANCY & CHILDBIRTH. LOOKING BACK SARAH SAYS “I THINK THIS WAS JUST A FEAR OF ALL THE THINGS THAT COULD GO WRONG, WHICH CAME NATURALLY TO ME AS A WOMAN WHO LOST TWO BABIES. I’M REALLY NOT SURE IT SHOULD’VE BEEN LABELLED AS SOMETHING SO DRAMATIC SOUNDING TBH BECAUSE IT MADE ME FEEL WORSE!”
SARAH SPENT MONTHS 4 – 9 OF HER PREGNANCY IN COMPLETE LOCKDOWN, JUST HER & HER HUSBAND IN SPRING/SUMMER 2020. IT WAS BLISS SHE SAYS; A PERFECT BUBBLE ALLOWING FOR CALM & NOURISHMENT IN ALL SENSE OF THE WORD. SARAH WENT INTO LABOUR NATURALLY AT 41 WEEKS PREGNANT ON FRIDAY 17TH JULY 2020 AT 1:30PM. ALBERT LOUIE WAS BORN AT 7:34PM. NO MEDICATION, NOT EVEN A PARACETAMOL (THAT WAS FOR HER HUSBAND! HONESTLY!) SARAH ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF LABOUR & BIRTH….ESPECIALLY BIRTH. WHICH IS KINDA IRONIC GIVEN HOW FEARFUL SHE WAS…& DOING IT ALONE IN LOCKDOWN.
SO THIS SERIES DEPICTS HOW SARAH FELT DURING VARIOUS STAGES OF LABOUR & BIRTH. PURE MAGIC.
