"flowers for my mother and father"
Synopsis
Flowers for my mother and father’ follows the artist's tender ritual of layering on ‘flowers’ in its different forms, in tandem. Bright plastic flowers in one frame, to adorn an afterlife; and flowered sheets in the other, to swaddle, to soothe and to hold. Reminders of how love manifests in different forms following profound loss, changing shape to fit the ones that continue to love and be loved.
