Love: A Stranger dream is a non-linear visual poem were each image tells a story
of it's own or can be built up into a flowing narrative that is different for each
person. Containing elements on the question of identity and the stark pain this
can cause around gender, disability, orientation, family, society and economics,
encompassing the pain of exclusion and abuse. It is black and white and stark
but can be coloured in vibrant rainbows to show the hope that things can
change. The work was created by Sarah Snell-Pym after a head injury left her
questioning the very foundations of who she was, learning to re-draw the images
were an import source of expression and quickly grew to incorporate wider issues
with many threads woven into the pictures it became a general statement on
society and not just an internal view of the poets own experience.
