BLUE

   
       

The body of work displayed here explores the complex relationship between mother and daughter during the vulnerable time when a girl is on the cusp of becoming a woman.

The works are an expression of maternal fears, memories, feelings and experiences and its effect on our daughters.

The role of the artist/mother is an integral part of the meaning of these works. This body of work is also part of my continuous exploration into the 'wounding' potential of an image, and how an image may trigger 'sense' memories that we perceive within our bodies and not just in our minds.
