I work intuitively, letting my mind go where it must. Over the last two years this
body of work has evolved unknowingly through sketchbooks and paintings, until,
eventually, I saw it all together and understood this is an expression of my journey
through sorrow after my partner of 53 years died.
From the initial confusion of how to live alone through to the beginning of reinvention, this is the journey. The sorrow is within and remains; and is taken forward into the reinvention of self as a single entity. An attraction to the wetlands came unknown and puzzling. Then a realisation the wetlands are the kidneys of the world filtering the water. Dialysis ruled our lives over the five years prior to death. A new way of being, it is different, but it is the same and the memories remain as a foundation to moving forward.
