Wow, I LOVE her art! That second piece looks like a mix of William Blake and Hieronymus Bosch!

Speaking of isolation, David (my other half) spent 6 days alone, in silence and total darkness, during a retreat last month—and he and Leonora would seem to be on the same page regarding solitude. Great piece, thank you

Was going to say the same. Definitely Bosch vibes.

Impressive effort by David.

I love Carrington's art but I didn't know that she was a writer as well!

Amazing lady:- "...You are trying to intellectualise something... desperately... and you are wasting your time...".

Adhering to the visual, beyond loneliness, I see fear and trepidation in much of her painting.
