This is Beth. This is a raw photo. It is untouched. Beth is an Angel on Earth, but she doesn%u2019t know it. Angels don%u2019t have wings, and they don%u2019t come from the bible or God. They are the best of our life force, who struggle on Earth and in this reality more than anyone else. They spend their time incapacitated in one way or another and rarely suspect why, which is%u2014they have too much of another place in them for their presentation in this reality to be adapted and suited to. I never discussed any of this with Beth: I just encountered her, like many other people will, in a tragic and non-survivable period of my life. I am here today because of her. Beth brought me hope! In the summer of 2000, I was living in a concrete room in a run down warehouse in Wimbledon, South London. I had left my home, my wife, my job... Everything which had formed my life up to that time. I was homeless but had some funds to continue with and start to rebuild my life. The warehouse was split into work units for some 100 artists. I decided to return this year to my art. I met Beth at Jessop's in Sutton and asked if she would model for me. She became a muse. Her own level of creativity was amazing and inspired me. She had a great heart for others, especially anyone suffering, which I certainly was through grief and emotional despair.
