Description: 'Across Farmer's works, there has always been an attraction to those beings who occupy two realms â ] Once one has lived elsewhere, lived differently, it doesn't matter whether she stays to forge a new life or turns back towards the old, or moves on once again; there will always be the shadow, the after-image, of the life not lived.' Beverley
