About the cover artwork
Nona Cameron, Matchbox moments: 11 days of a year in reflection, 2012-13, cardboard matchboxes and glued collage elements, each matchbox – 50 x 35 x 15mm, total dimensions – 140 x 140 x 35mm.
Throughout 2012 I made a daily reflection in a matchbox. The qualities, textures and values that remained with me from interactions were captured as little storied boxes, dated, titled and pocketed. This reflective practice gave shape to significant moments from my lived experience in my arts therapy practice in hospital, teaching and supervision, and in my everyday life.
