1. Featured Image: The Face Dancer by Eric Robinson.
[IMAGE: 3 black and white photos, divided by black lines, of Eilidh wearing an oversized white t-shirt, black leggings and blue kneepads, barefoot and hair pulled back in a messy bun. Seated in Rollie the Rollator (a black and grey Drive Medical Nitro Rollator), Eilidh is against a backdrop of a cloudy sky, incoming tide and wet sand. In all 3 images, Eilidh’s face is turned to the right, mouth open wide, eye scrunched closed in an expression of pain, left hand touching face with elbow bent; toes pointed in the sand with knees apart. In image 1, her right hand is spread open away from her body; image 2 it’s bent up, palm to sky; image 3, she has pushed her forehead back with the flat of her hand.]
