Dementia Between the Lines
After losing my Mum to dementia I produced a series of 12 portraits, in 2019, focusing on the disease from the view point of the family/carers. This was a very personal and cathartic journey for me as, although I wanted to paint them in the moment as they are now, I realised this wasn’t who they were and who they were now makes them who they are. Watching your loved one slowly disappear in front of you is harrowing but peppered between that are little capsules of recognition and joy
