Ask yourself…………….

1. Can you discuss the symbolism of this work? How do symbols give the viewer clues about Bell’s spiritual realm?
   (allocate 5 marks for this)
2. Can you briefly discuss Bell’s strategy of ‘borrowing’ & how it reflects her belief system? (allocate 3 marks)
3. How do the materials & techniques used reinforce the ideas behind her spiritual realm?
