The film is a series of cosmic visions shot entirely at home and in the garden on expired 16mm film, weaving back and forth in time, to intimately chart the artist's personal journey, from calling new life into the world to becoming a mother.

Everything is alive with meaning - familiar personal objects such as stones, crystals and cut-up dresses are wrapped, re-worked and symbolically charged; personal rituals give rise to hand-sewn and painted forms, figures appear and act as guardians of the threshold she hopes to cross into motherhood; found objects and plants in her garden become signs, connecting microcosm to macrocosm; blood, milk, and fire signal elemental processes at work; and placenta is washed and laid on fabric. All the while a cat watches on, intuitive and knowing. 

The making of the film itself formed part of a healing, transformative process, and a prayer for her unborn baby after a long journey to finally become a mother. 

The work includes a powerful soundtrack created by Kelly Jayne Jones (previous credits include Haris Epaminonda's Venice bienale piece 'Chimera'), including flute and sampled sounds of objects in the film from Rosalind's home.
