The search of fathers and the meaning of fatherhood has taken my siblings and I on a lifelong journey. On the subject of father's lost, modern society has become adjusted to this un-idealised family unit. The dog has the image of the 'perfect' family placed on his heart and from this innate ideal there radiates the thoughts that takes me on my quest. Although questions will always remain we try and find a resolution, a sense of peace within one's self. Marsipan tells the story of self-discovery and eventually self-realisation, from starting dark at the top of the tail the beginning is a twisted, unfurling time of questions and no answers. As we move on and grow down the body the colours become less tormented and bring with them a fresher outlook. We then progress into enlightenment, the colours grow lighter and questions of life's hows and whys become less of a concern and a sense of self is discovered.
