Sky Writing

In the voices of a brother and sister, the poems in Sky Writing tell of a tragic love story from different perspectives. The life of an RAF pilot, friend to the brother, lover to the sister, comes to a premature end in a flying accident. The poems explore the collision of romantic love with the doomed romance of military service and provide an elegiac refrain for both.

Kat Rae's artistic response to the poems expands and enhances their significance, providing a vivid and thought-provoking complementary visual experience.

Taken together, the poems and images create an alternative memorial to more traditional modes of remembrance.
