Cockwood Artist Gillian Taylor has used an original set of love letters written during the Second World War to make an anthology of work which was exhibited for the first time over the weekend of Remembrance Sunday 2009.
The letters were written to a young woman separated from her love by the war. Brought to light after more than sixty years, the letters’ messages of love, interspersed with news of everyday life at the time, inspired Gillian to make framed collections of tiny, individually handmade envelopes, each lined with gold paper.
'Love Letters' is an anthology of paper art using original manuscript letters which give intriguiing and evocative glimpses of life and love before and during the Second World War.
