Beautiful Jess. WOW what a journey...I wanna hear more about the crucible of the whole thing- how it felt- how did you not give up? What did the dark feel like? So many questions!!! For future writings :)

Jess, as someone who experienced pre-eclampsia with my first pregnancy, I never understood it or explored its meaning as you have here. This piece is science and art, biography and history... Your placenta paintings throb with life.
