The Table’s Journey, Mixed media on canvas, 90cm x 120cm
I painted this image as a way of processing the impact of life changing events. When something you have always counted on, something that you rest on, is swept away. It is then that one looks at what’s left and one’s faith.
Leaving the Table, Acrylic on canvas, 28cm x 35cm
A look at grief. When one leaves a long term relationship, the other is left to grieve at the loss of rituals such as breakfast at the table. She too must leave the table, and come back with a new ritual that encompasses completeness in breakfast for one.
I thought of musical notes now missing: the clink of the spoon against the coffee cup, the scrape of the chair, the baritone cough. I thought about what now must come, a determination to continue and write a new song.
