TRIBE MAGAZINE | ISSUE 21 | OCTOBER 2013

COVER: Andrew Salgado

EDITORS NOTE Flat-Packed Creativity I’m all for disruption. Recently, tribe has gone ‘flat’ - that is, we have removed the formal hierarchies within the organisation and thrown things over to our young people. It’s scary, exhilarating and it might not work. But that’s no reason not to try it! We live in a highly risk adverse society, and it permeates all aspects of our lives. Hierarchies are stable structures, but they are inflexible and bureaucratic and often prevent the free flow of creativity, the fluidity of ideas and collaborations. And I think that ‘fluid’ is the key word here. Without this fluidity, very little creative can happen and formal management structures are barriers to collaboration, idea sharing, cooperation and imagination. From now on, you will see no job titles in the credits of the magazine. New people joining tribe will have no job titles, no direct responsibilities and no boss to report to. The only thing on our job description is this: ‘Make great things happen’ Mark Doyle founder of tribe

BRIAN WILSHERE The provocative music of English percussionist and composer Brian Wilshere has been widely performed in the UK and abroad by young British artists such as the Elysian Quartet and Owen Gunnell. Until now, no recordings have been made available. But Louba Rêve Records, a small collaborative label, is releasing two collections of Wilshere’s work in 2013. Tribe caught up with the Derby-born composer in Beijing.

A big song cycle for soloists, choir and orchestra is one example, but if other opportunities come up it could all change.

MARKETING INUIT ART CHRISTINE PLATT The Inuit art market differs greatly from the traditional primary art market in a number of ways, including the players involved and how it functions. This results in different artist benefits, distribution of risk and quality standards. Currently the market faces challenges to its resilience with some changes taking place as a result and much to question. On the primary market, most contemporary Inuit artists sell their work through a unique system dedicated wholly to art made by Inuit. Inuit owned and operated cooperatives, along with various other

26

TRIBE MAGAZINE ISSUE 21

governmental institutions and private art marketing companies act as distributors to the galleries across the globe. They select and price artworks made by Inuit in their local communities, paying the artists directly and immediately, similar to buying products in most other (non-art) commodities markets. This provides a sense of general financial security to the artists, and ensures a flow of capital to reinvest in materials and tools for further art production. Arguably this system would appeal to many non-Inuit artists in the world for its security and psychological value.


www.tribemagazine.org

The distributors transport the works they have bought from Inuit artists to warehouses in the south of Canada, where gallery representatives arrive to select works to sell in their own spaces. Gallery representatives must pay for smaller works in full, while they usually take larger works on consignment. The relative risk, therefore, is highest for the distributors in this market who have already paid the artists, paid for transport to facilities closer to galleries and paid for storage of art until it has sold (sometimes years later). Distributors in this market act more like gallery representatives in other art markets; they coach artists on quality, refusing to take the poorest works, and in some cases truly helping artists to find their own original vision. Additionally distributors help artists to develop their technical skills through workshops and travel opportunities to meet gallery representatives, collectors and other artists. Nevertheless, mediocre and midlevel works can still be found on the market, due to a number of factors including: the dearth of works made available; sympathy markets; and a lack of competition. Although the market has considerably cooled in the last decade, especially with a number of galleries closing in the past five years, distributors continue to select large quantities of works not far enough from the numbers they selected during the market’s height in the 1980’s and 1990’s, which is evident from the large number of works found in the major distribution centres. Problematically, the distributors face entire

communities whose livelihood depends largely on art sales, which has created pocket sympathy markets in which those lower quality works are still taken on, but prove more difficult to sell to collectors. Furthermore, distributors often have little competition as only one or two operate in a given region, due to both the remoteness of where artists work and the territorial development of the overall system. Without competition there is little incentive to improve the system and ensure the highest possible quality. Some of the artists affected by this system both positively and adversely include Floyd Kuptana and Bart Hanna, who both have a number of works in their own truly original styles and beautifully executed, but whose lesser quality works can equally be found in distribution centres and on gallery floors. This causes the artists to have a skewed understanding of their collectors tastes and de-motivates them from producing their best work. It also creates challenges for pricing and wider market stability. > Art made by Inuit has frequently been sold as part of the brand: Inuit Art. Galleries around the globe selling the artform often dedicate themselves solely to it. Those galleries with additional art made by nonInuit artists often separate Inuit produced works instead of having them arranged together by other categories, such as materials, styles and themes. Museums also often have special sections of Inuit art separated from wider contemporary art collections, although recent museum practice has evolved in some institutions to

TRIBE MAGAZINE ISSUE 21 27

allow for flexibility in display and information. Governments and their businesses and communities have championed the artform as a national treasure in Canada, which even extended to the Vancouver Olympics’ icon of an Inuksuk; Inuksuit have many functional uses in Inuit culture which differ from the often seen stone sculptures sold in most Inuit art galleries, such as giving direction and marking food stores. Collectors of the artform include collectors of art in general, but also collectors of anthropological and historical objects, tourists as well as those attracted to the brand in general. Having the brand Inuit Art has brought positive attention to Inuit communities and a desire to understand their culture. It has also helped to make large and diverse audiences aware of art made by Inuit and spurred high sales volumes. However, it has arguably presented an essentialist view of work made by Inuit, and it presents a challenge to sustainability in their separate market system as tastes and economies change. Recently some individual Inuit artists have departed to non-Inuit galleries, gaining more independent recognition from the wider contemporary art field. Young artists such as Mark Iglorliote and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril have diverse followings within the Inuit community, collectors of Inuit art and collectors of art generally. These young, individual artists, just as those within the Inuit art market, continue to give insight into Inuit culture and contemporary thought. While most displays of Inuit art shown by Inuit art galleries and museums focus on

28

TRIBE MAGAZINE ISSUE 21

traditional stone sculptures, prints and occasionally drawings, works by these young artists present the diversity of production modes now in use by Inuit artists, including video, photography and installation. At a time when many collectors from the separate Inuit art market are ageing out, these young artists present a fresh style of art made by Inuit which appeals to young, new audiences, challenging the status quo of the Inuit art market and bringing to the fore questions on how the market currently functions and alternative methods of promoting and protecting art made by Inuit. The Inuit art market is a unique system with benefits for the artists and communities involved. Unlike any other art market in the world, it values art production above all else and it promotes and distributes the art produced across a vast network. However, it is also a system facing challenges and on the brink of change that will test its resilience, as artists, galleries and distributors decide how best to ensure quality and meet the demands of their collectors. <

So Muddy A construction site so muddy big dump trucks sink out of sight. Crossing on foot while hardhats curse in a dozen shades of pink, I leave footprints like dinosaur tracks steaming in the midday heat.

William Doreski lives in Peterborough, New Hampshire, and teaches at Keene State College. His most recent book of poetry is The Suburbs of Atlantis (2013). He has published three critical studies, including Robert Lowell’s Shifting Colors. His essays, poetry, fiction, and reviews have appeared in many journals, including Massachusetts Review, Atlanta Review, Notre Dame Review, The Alembic, New England Quarterly, Worcester Review, Harvard Review, Modern Philology, Antioch Review, and Natural Bridge

Trying to escape to the east, toward the deep plotting of the sea, I feel as though I’m entering the interior of a machine grinding away at the planet. Yellow power shovels unearth the sunken big-wheeled dump trucks and with chains like strings of biceps hoist them onto terra firma. I dodge among the grunting diesels and slip through a hole in the fence. As I look back, a crane at least two hundred feet tall topples in a smash of X-shaped runes. I don’t think anyone was hurt, but the perceived level of cursing rises to crimson and navy blue. An entire edge city expects to rise from this sultry mire. Condominiums, shopping malls, office blocks. Greasy syllables already grace the realty ads. What if the whole new complex sinks like Atlantis and leaves the property owners shipwrecked?

LIFE SCIENCE | Photography I am a Neuroscientist and an avid Art Photographer. My research focuses on the study of the mechanisms underlying epilepsy, and the development of innovative cure for this illness. In recent years I found myself directing vast attention and energy to still life photography of biological specimens, highly inspired by my long lasting confrontation with biological tissues and natural fauna. It takes a while for a young clinician or a researcher to accommodate the laboratory or hospital scenes to enable good performance. This is done by extensive training; some cannot adjust to the visuals. I feel my photographic activity carries me to these regions too. My photographic activity deals with the aesthetics of the scene, improvising various contexts, the tools and paraphernalia shown are not just the typical ones used in the operating place. My "Life Science� project is forcing the biological tissue into a relatively pleasant, sometimes artificial scenarios contemplating issues of materialism, erotica and mortality, corresponding with the complicated and intriguing category of “Animal reminder� in the visual arts. I feel my work engages also various toning of violence. We tend to describe violent humankind behavior as an animal like beastly revolting one, associated with animal violent behavior. But the animal world is dictated purely by survival rules due to inexorable, harsh selection process. No one will consider the abandoning of the essentials measures for the preservation of the species as cruel ones; this was previously emphasized by Charles Darwin and recent eminent scholars. I believe in many aspects we are inferior to the animal world moral conduct, while being superior in our intellectual competence. Eran Gilat erangilat.com

I’m close to defining my true voice as a painter. It’s all about evolution and change, isn’t it? Your expressive technique certainly complements the impressive scale of your paintings. Was this intentional? What attracts you to painting on a large canvas? I love the monumental nature of scale. I love viewing paint that is larger than life, and playing with figures that become unnaturally large within this space, because its unnatural to view, and causes a viewer to reconsider the painted image. I’ve never been concerned with accuracy, so scale is another way to force both myself and the viewer outside of the confines of expected modes of representation. Also, I’m quite aggressive and physical when I paint, so I like the immediacy of painting on a larger canvas. I do paint very small as well, for precisely the opposite reasons that I enjoy painting large scale: I like to challenge myself through restraint, and to achieve similar but different results on a smaller scale is extremely challenging. Where do you hope to be in the next few years? Hopefully still in London, and hopefully still producing paintings that challenge me and that people respond to. Finally, what advice would you give to aspiring painters? I always say the same thing: it takes talent, hard work, and perseverance. No young artist will ever succeed without belief in oneself and these three things in spades. <

The Conservatives wins by a 43-­‐seat majority making Margaret Thatcher the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Housing Bill gives council house tenants the right to buy their homes. Sid Vicious, the former Sex Pistols guitarist, is found dead in New York. Trevor Francis signs for Nottingham Forest in British football's first £1 million deal. Pink Floyd’s ‘Another Brick In The Wall’ replaced the Police’s ‘Walking On The Moon’ at the top of the UK music chart to become the Christmas number 1. The Deer Hunter wins Oscar for best picture.

This was the start of a disastrous financial love affair with photography, which has unfortunately lasted on and off until this day!

for. One kindly account manager took the time to explain how the system worked. “All creditors names went into a hat. At the end of every month, one lucky creditor name would be pulled out and paid! Any body who chased payment or complained, their name did not go in the hat!” So in the 80’s I was always skint and had to scratch around to find any lighting I could blag, steal or borrow. On a good day I worked with a HMI movie light and on a bad day I shot using candles. All you need is a lot of candles and a mirror. The only downside when shooting beauty is that it is bloody hot for the model who tend to sweat, which is not good for the makeup and bloody dangerous when using hairspray! Also there was a major issue with hot cascading wax. There was logic behind it! If it was good enough for the old masters! It was cheap, no electric needed and heated up the studio / living room. The 80’s were a creative period. No Photoshop! All the work was done in the camera or in the darkroom. Everybody was looking for their own unique style and would try any crazy idea that would get them discovered. Then everybody would rip off the style and head over to Vogue. Unfortunately, Vogue only booked Albert Watson or Steven Meisel. I was recently asked how would I best describe myself as a photographer. I suppose an optimistic enthusiastic amateur with a professional attitude. Skint, but still snapping after 30 years later. I now live in Plymouth and am currently working on several arts health projects and to promote photography under the title ‘One Red Dot’ working closely with CHIK, Community Health in Keyham. I also grow and sell spicy baby leaf salad and lemon cucumbers from the Greenhouse In Devonport Park to raise wonga for the Friends of Devonport Park and I have just become the Volunteer Project and Promotions Coordinator for Devonport Guildhall exhibitions. So plenty to keep me busy.’

the single life glyn davies I’ve written before (in tribe #2, if you’re morbidly curious) about the continuing appeal of vinyl records and their surprising resurgence in the age of the digital download.

In that piece

it was mostly LPs and the artwork in which they were sheathed that was under discussion, followed by my own cod theories on why vinyl has been so resilient against all reasonable odds, the conclusion being that vinyl is still considered cool, sounds good and is aesthetically appealing as an item, something worth owning, keeping and collecting, as opposed to deeply faceless and impersonal digital

downloads.

In the distant pre-digital past, when downloading any kind of

data took several weeks under strict laboratory conditions, if it was a short sharp fix of catchy pop you were after, the most effective way of getting it was to purchase it on a small, flat, black plastic disc.

When

you look at all the possible delivery media for pop music past and present, has there ever been anything quite as perfect as the 7-inch vinyl single?

While in most practical respects, the single is and has always been little more than a promotional tool for record companies to sell albums, it has nevertheless developed a life of its own over the past 60 years or so. Creating the perfect pop single has always been the holy grail for some musicians, a highly specialised musical artform that is very difficult to master fully.

The history of pop music is replete with moments where,

thanks to a sublime conjugation of songwriter, producer and artist, a certain alchemy occurred and a hit was created.

This kind of magic does

still happen, even in today’s micromanaged pop world, and has done so since the rock ‘n’ roll explosion of the 1950s, when this bothersome 45rpm interloper finally began to prove its worth both to those who bought music and those who sold it – small, cheap, less hassle to lug around and considerably more robust than the brittle 78s that had previously been the preferred single-play format.

The 1960s is generally regarded as the golden era of the single, from the post-Beatles preponderance of fresh-faced, squeaky-haired beat groups, through the innovative work of unhinged geniuses like Phil Spector and Joe Meek, to the soul and R’n’B classics that winged their way across the Atlantic from Detriot and Chicago, all aided and abetted by the pirate radio stations that kids were forced to tune in to, as the stuffy old broadcasting establishment, still trying to get off at Dunkirk, continued to look down its nose at this wretched pop phenomenon, dearly wishing it would just go away and get a sensible haircut.

Alas, the establishment was to be bitterly

disappointed, as pop would not only define youth culture throughout the final decades of the 20th century and beyond, but it would also give it its soundtrack.

And the haircuts would definitely get worse before they got

better. The 1970s, the decade in which brown inexplicably became the colour of choice for absolutely everything, was bookended by glam rock and punk respectively, two disparate musical movements which not only brought some riotous colour to what were otherwise drab times, but also relied upon the 7-inch single for their commercial traction, and in the case of punk,

TRIBE MAGAZINE ISSUE 21 83


www.tribemagazine.org

completely revitalised the format, introducing the wide-eyed music consumer to the wonders of coloured vinyl (“Any colour you like, as long as it’s phlegm.”).

The 1970s also brought us funk and disco, of course, although

funk was a mostly album-based genre, while disco, its brazenly perky offshoot, was largely responsible for another vinyl innovation, the 12-inch single, which, despite being a huge passion of mine, this article isn’t about.

More crucially, the 70s was responsible for what I believe to be the

greatest pop song ever written, ‘Hot Love’ by T. Rex.

Utterly subjective,

of course – your own reality will probably differ from mine – but to me, it’s absolutely perfect: it’s immediately catchy and hummable, the lyrics are complete gibberish, it ends with a sing-along chorus that goes on for several weeks and it was sung by a man so absurdly good looking, he had to die young simply to restore natural order to the cosmos.

Seriously, what’s

not to like?

The early 1980s heralded what was arguably the most creatively fertile era for pop music since the 1960s, and the single continued to thrive.

While

punk had very quickly dissipated into the more palatable sound of new wave, with its drainpipe jeans, skinny ties and power chords, the ripples it had left in its wake continued to be felt well into the next decade.

It was

also a remarkably diverse time, with no one genre or movement dictating the make-up of the Top 40 and, despite punk’s best efforts to strip rock ‘n’ roll of its vaingloriousness and glamour, marked the triumphant return of the truly flamboyant pop star, something which hadn’t been seen since the halcyon days of Marc Bolan and David Bowie nearly a decade earlier, and all of which was finely crafted to ensnare the young and create a generation of voracious music consumers.

And there was much to consume, as record companies employed increasingly nefarious ways to encourage music fans to part with their cash: along with vinyls in an increasingly revolting range of colours and patterns that made the mucus-inspired colourings of the punk era seem almost sedate by comparison, and a choice of several 12-inch remixes for the same song in a variety of different sleeves (we’ll chalk that little wheeze up to Frankie Goes To Hollywood), there was also – with a new generation of photogenic pop stars to exploit – the sonic aberration of the picture disc, a marketing device aimed purely at collectors, as they were virtually unlistenable as records.

By the early 1990s, the vinyl single as a format was a spent force, its sales long surpassed, first by the cassette single and, later, the CD single.

The pop single itself continued unabated through another musically-

mixed era for pop, with dance music making its vibrant presence felt at the turn of the decade, Britpop and grunge ruling the airwaves through the middle – marking the permanent entry into the mainstream for indie and alternative music - before everything went horribly wrong in time for the turn of the new century, as the industry, in its desire to manipulate and control the charts absolutely, marketed out what little personality or meaning pop music still had left, trying to squeeze out those golden eggs even though the golden goose was long dead - only for people like Simon Cowell to resurrect it for their own egregious purposes.

The internet has helped to make things a little better than they were – allowing downloads into the charts has certainly made the Top 40 a lot more interesting than it was in the early 2000s, often turning it into a social media-led chaotic democracy, with official single releases sharing chart space with freakishly random tracks from every era and every conceivable genre, for no apparent reason.

The modern music fan is lucky enough to have

the whole of music history at their fingertips, and consumes music in ways which couldn’t have been imagined 20 or 30 years ago.

In the pre-digital days, the 7-inch single was traditionally a young person’s introduction to the intoxicating world of music; albums, being considerably more expensive, never came into the equation except as birthday and Christmas treats.

Singles were pocket-money priced and so were the

musical medium of choice for the pop-hungry teenager.

I was no different.

I didn’t start buying albums regularly until I was about 15 when, thanks to a paper round, I found myself with a comparatively generous disposable income.

Until then, I had only my weekly pocket-money, and that would only

stretch to a single - maybe two if I waited for a song to drop out of the Top 40 and into the bargain bin. single was usually good enough.

These are the singles that, of the many

hundreds I’ve bought or acquired over the past 30 years or so, are my absolute favourites, the ones I continue to play to this day and would form the contents of my mythical perfect jukebox.

The vast majority, as you

might expect of a 41-year-old, are from the 1980s; the oldest single in there is dated 1960, the most recent 1997.

It’s a fairly catholic mix of

eras and genres, and as such is fairly representative of my musical taste, which is unspeakable.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to waffle on about its

contents; this is emphatically not one of those articles.

You know the kind

of thing I mean: some cooler-than-thou hack trying to convince the world that the first single he ever bought was ‘London Calling’ by The Clash, when in reality it was probably ‘Some Girls’ by Racey.

Because, much as though

our carefully crafted self-image might want to pretend otherwise, nobody’s music taste arrives fully-formed, not to mention informed, straight from the womb.

our music taste was still in its formation process. fun.

That’s all part of the

It’s also one of the great paradoxes of pop music that a song can be

truly awful, and yet still be utterly brilliant.

One of the things I have always loved about singles is the lottery of the Bside.

In the early days of the single, the B-side usually enjoyed equal

billing with the A-side, and would often get a separate chart position until the rules were changed. In the 1950s, an artist’s albums were generally compilations of that year’s singles and B-sides, with perhaps a couple of extra tracks to make it worth buying for the more obsessive fans.

As the

decades moved on, and albums became more of a creative statement, B-sides increasingly became an afterthought for many artists, who would just slap on a song that didn’t make the final cut of the album.

Some artists, however,

put as much effort into their flip-sides as they did the main song. Sometimes you’d get a hidden gem that even surpassed the A-side, or perhaps just something a bit quirky that was outside the artist’s usual sphere. Most of the time, of course, the B-side would be utter drivel – a lot of songs don’t make the final cut of the album for good reason.

As the 1980s

wore on, instrumental versions of the A-side became increasingly common, and this was something I always felt a little bit cheated by, having parted with my pocket-money in good faith.

The 7-inch single is these days viewed by most people as a quaint curiosity, an archaic relic of the way we used to do things before we knew better, and of no more relevance to the modern age than a horse-drawn carriage or

records are far from practical, after all, and take up a great deal of your living space, whereas a hard-drive does not.

Interview by Hope Grimson

EVELYN KNIGHTLEY Evelyn is a young writer and poet, currently in the process of self-publishing her debut anthology 'I Haven't Lived At All.' As a self-published writer what has been the biggest challenges you have faced? A combination of a couple of things, the first being time. There never seem to be enough hours in the day to do everything you need to, and your to-do list becomes the last thing you think of at night and wakes you up at an inconsiderate time. The second would be realising how little you know, you can research into self-publishing as many times as you want, but it never fully prepares you for the real experience; the entire thing is a long learning curve and often feels like you're just making it all up as you go along. What sparked you to leave higher education to pursue your own writing? There were a few things that made me realise higher education just wasn't for me. I had just returned to University after taking a

96

TRIBE MAGAZINE ISSUE 21


www.tribemagazine.org

semester off, and I was so un-motivated and all I could think about was a story I had just started writing before returning. I became even more unfocused and there wasn't a single thing about University that I really enjoyed. I'd made the decision to not move away to university because I didn't want that to become my entire life, I eventually realised that it just wasn't my priority. I had changed my course choice a couple of times, Psychology always being my major and floating between English Literature and Anthropology as my minor. Everything about it didn't 'sit' well with me. I'm not out for the kind of career a degree can get me; I was simply buying myself more time to figure out what it was I was going to do. I spent one night with a friend talking about my options for hours, and the conversation just went round in circles as it was clear that I did not want to stay at University and writing was all I ever wanted to do, I had just been too scared to accept this for a long time. What advice would you give to anyone looking to pursue a career as a writer or a self-published author? Never expect help, but accept it when it's there. The process is hard, stressful (especially alongside full time work) and it can be isolating. It's easy to regret making the decision to publish your work, so it's important to keep yourself surrounded by people who will support you and remind you of all the positive things that can come from a process like this. There are many people out there who are going to doubt you and offer nothing but negativity, and that can be overwhelming, but you have to remember why you're doing it. For me, it's not to get everybody's approval and for everybody to love the book (although that would be good,) it's just something I felt like I needed to do- so any support or positive feedback is more than could have been expected. Sometimes you have to take a step back to fully appreciate everything that you're achieving; which leads me on to the final bit of advice- it's okay to be proud of yourself. Can you describe your creative process, what inspires you? Living is my biggest inspiration, closely followed by other creative arts. This is a clichĂŠ but I've always believed that the best way for me to improve and grow as a writer isn't by studying it in a structured form, but to learn about other things in life; reading as many books as you can, watching movies, listening to music, travelling and meeting new people. It's those experiences that differentiate one person from

the next so I feel like the more I do those things the better my writing can be. I have no real structure to my writing, and I can't sit down and just decide to write- which makes the process quite slow at times, but it feels more organic. Inspiration usually hits me when I should be sleeping, I'll get a small image in my mind and it inspires me, and a story grows from there. Occasionally I'll have a dream and I can remember a tiny section of it, so I fill in the gaps myself. Sometimes, I just feel like I have something to say so that will either become a poem or the sentiments can be the basis for a character or story. You have your debut anthology ‘I haven’t lived at all’, a collection of poems and short stories; what issues and themes do you explore in this work? The most obvious theme is highlighted by the title, surviving and going through the motions rather than really living. There's a lot to do with expectations and disappointment, aspiration, growing up. The poems and stories themselves focus more on the individual and follow a change in attitude; acceptance of what has been and willingness to try for more. Overall, it's recognising that you're the main conductor of your life, but only if you allow yourself to be. You are also co-creator and blogger for the online Feminist magazine NAUSICA, does this influence your writing and the construction of your character? I'd have to say not really, or at least not as of yet. Feminism is something I'm incredibly passionate about, but Nausica allows me to express those feelings there, and there's yet to be a case where it's necessary for me to bring my own political or personal views into a piece of my writing. This hasn't been intentional, and it's not to say that my feminist views will never manifest into a character, but if it did happen I'd have to be careful not to alienate the reader and allow it to overshadow everything else. How has the internet and social media impacted your work, do you feel it makes it more accessible? Absolutely, the large majority of working on the book has taken place online, especially marketing and promotion. It's enabled me to connect with so many different people and it's a massive fountain of knowledge that I otherwise wouldn't have access to. It is also a

Extract from Fractured Fantasy By Evelyn Knightley ‘It was clear to see by her face that the mother had been badly hurt in the past. Her face itself did not appear to be aged, but there was a sadness in her eyes that never left and a harshness to her face that never lifted. As such, she had chosen to spend the rest of her life in solitude. She tried to instill this way of living into her Adrianna, reminding her that whilst she may feel lonely, it was only to protect her from being hurt. As Adrianna grew older, the tale of her mother’s woes was told more and more frequently. A tale of how she once loved a man, and a tale of how he almost killed her and Adrianna. At first, he appeared to be the man of her dreams. He would soon learn her secrets and was unwilling to accept her as she was. Underneath his smile, a cruel man was waiting to be unleashed and he relished in the opportunity she gave him. He saw her as undeserving of life, and so he took it into his own hands to rid her of it.’
