Hanging man. For whom the bell tolls
Digital sketch December 2023
A sketch created using Procreate on an iPad.
The sketch shows a bell. Inside the bell, in the place where the clapper should be, is a hanging man.
The image came to me spontaneously while I was looking at a (much smaller) bell. I think that part of the idea may be that the bell marks out time, announcing the hours,and therefore marks out life.
Bells are also tolled to mark out death.
