I did these drawings in 1999-2000. This is the first time they will
be shown outside the family. It is part of a process for me and I
was shocked when I first saw them on the site and now I am not sure how I feel about or even what my motives are?
They are drawings I made during the last six weeks of my Mother's life.
She had finally moved to Dorset, but my hopes of spending time with
her were truncated when she refused to eat or drink. This was part of
my way of traveling the last part of her journey with her.
After
she had died, I went to the Trinity Day centre and made drawings of
other old people. You can see some of these on the site.
On one level they show another aspect to my work. And they also show I
hope, that the act of drawing and painting is attached to the deepest
and most essential part of me. Maybe that is enough for a website.
