As much a portrait of my daughter and her daughters, as it is a portrait of motherhood and mothering. A glimpse of a moment in their lives that felt important to preserve for me, for them and for others. I had seen and been inspired by the paintings of Jenny Saville on the same topic. I was attempting to convey here something of the love you have for your children and at the same time the feeling of losing (or trying to hold on to) the person you were before them. This was from a sitting in April 2022 and I began working on it that year. I had put it aside and finished it during the course of 2025.
