Painting created by Hazel Edwards c.1961, in the art therapy studio at Netherne Hospital, where she was compelled to live. One of three surviving works, others feature tiny, mirror handwriting, detailing experiences of non-consensus based reality. No biographical information is currently known to us
Painting of a white slim woman of indeterminate age, maybe forty or fifty at the very oldest, with short curly brown hair, wearing a turquoise knee length dress with fitted bodice, long sleeves and baggy skirt and brown brogues, looking down and to the left inside a multicoloured landscape of watercolour brush strokes that make the ground look like water, with blue tree like strokes on either side of her and a blue cave mouth or portal directly behind her, the effect dreamlike and uneasy, not frightening exactly but neither entirely welcoming or comforting and the figure looks a bit lost or contemplative
