Sensa and the Glat-to : an ordinary story

Pickard and Widdop were both members of the Papermakers of Victoria and for this work, Pickard wrote the text and made the papers while Widdop illustrated them and printed the work. The narrative follows the journey of a woman throughout her life, from birth to death. Widdop describes it in her artist’sstatement: “The heroic quest suffuses literature. We recognise it in mythologies, folk tales, fairy stories and modern fiction but usually overlook it in daily life. It is not the glamour of celebrity or the veneration of power, but the greatness of ordinariness imbued with the numinous [sic] that this narrative celebrates.”
