This expressionist work was painted in the year I finished art teaching and started work as a supply teacher. The composition and energetic style of this autobiographical painting about my marriage to David, expresses both our reproductive success, and also the way we were growing apart. This marital tension is symbolized by the black space which is spanned by a bridge that connects the opposite male and female sides of the painting.
