Description
The story behind the art
This original 90x90cm canvas is part of the ‘Magic Within’ Collection.
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 ever 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. Major advances in knowledge have occurred within the science industry, resulting in an understanding of emotions as prime directors of our experience of labour which is orchestrated by neurohormones. Sarah hopes this collection shows some of that.
‘Transition’ is a vivid burst of energy. A little bit of worry & a little impatience. The Transitional Stage is a powerful one. One where Sarah shouted for help claiming she needed someone to help her (not entirely sure with what or how?!!!). That final push, the emotions & energy is at it’s highest ever peak that your body will ever feel. And here it is; depicted in one empowering piece. Ideal for a birthing centre or hospital ward.
