sores

Two sketches from a series of screen prints in-progress, alluding to episodes of confusion within intergenerational relationships of dependency. These, and other recent works, reference contiguous experiences of early motherhood and looking after my mother towards the end of her life. This series of text 'drawings' holds scattered details from her last three months, when she was bed-bound with Parkinson’s dementia.
