Sadly my mother passed away peacefully just before new year and I’m glad that I could be there despite strict international lockdowns. Whilst in her house I found this early sculpture of mine, neglected and battered in a cupboard - no surprise as my mother suffered with hoarding disorder and dementia - but it was theraputic to renovate it carefully and remember the love with which it was made.
I will miss my mother but I am glad her suffering is over and I thank her for the opportunity she has given me to take a little time whilst resolving her affairs to also focus on my artistic intents. I hope that I make her proud.
