I used a very old drawing from one of my sketchbooks and collaged a found image of red fabric suggesting a cape or covering. I was thinking of an old book by Gaston Bachelard "The Poetics of Space" where he discusses the human need for warmth, safety, protection and the Red Cape seemed to symbolise this for me.
