2002-2005
Experimenting with looser styles of working - this series of mixed-media paintings and drawings were created when my son was on the way and/or young … and my creative self was immersed in mothering.
The Sun is Up, Pile the Pillows High
Closing My Eyes
Roping the Stars
Laundry
Small Boy (see poem below)
Small Boy
late, late at night
and no light
just a little light
and your small outline
in the shadows
dreaming of the beloved cats
or the exotic cup of water -
the perfect size for a hand
far away and quiet
boy
small boy
with skin so smooth
it shines in the dark.
