Tide of Change - New Dawn

🌺Today in Parliament was so loved and hugged and supported by the staff that know me and my story ... see me campaigning for my rights and the rights of others... I was upset today with some of the Tory arrogance and quite frankly lack of respect for women and elders.....no respect for the pain many of us are in ... and for me a tether to past pain and why I am now requiring my state pension for some dignity and my right after 48 yrs of paying in ..
One of the staff felt my pain and made me aware of this window in dedication of Women Suffragettes and the fight for the right of women's votes ... It is part of the Tide of Change exhibition and is call New Dawn ... The circles you see are the artistic representation of ends of the scrolls of Acts of Parliament... and the window is dynamic lights change to the tide of the River Thames "Programmed by the artist, the light levels fluctuate with the river’s ebb and flow. It builds from low tide, where only one disc is lit, to high tide, where the whole sculpture is illuminated."
"By using a tidal clock to control the intensity of the light, the piece can come alive - transitioning imperceptible from one moment to the next in a continuous arc that drive by the tide, will move with the seasons and the phases of the moon." Mary Branson
