Signs of Life, 1987, Painted by Emily Young.

 ‘In the warm and humid South,

a room on the waters,

 where the music plays, 

and the Lovers dance. 

Small Monkey Penguin joins in, 

while the boy and his Pengy friend watch the Heron pass. 

All is well.’

Emily Young

In this work we witness a celebration and union between two lovers. Amongst the series this work feels like a crescendo, we can see lush green trees and a heron on the lake. Reminiscent of the willow trees in a place like Battersea Park. The work is nostalgic of family celebrations, warmth and innocence. The boy at the back is the only non-masked figure he stands holding the ‘Proprietor’ like father and son.
