Description
This print is based on a myth that I wrote. Who knows it may be true! Back before time began to be recorded rats ruled the world. Rats were the same size as humans and they were the healers. When a human was sick they would follow the signs to the healers’ cave. There the rats would lay hands on them and heal them.
This myth was based on my experience of having the pain of muscular dystrophy and fibromyalgia relieved by having rats walk on me. I would lie in the area where the rats played and as they climbed on me, my pain dissipated.
