Original artwork description:

Dear Mum, This is the conversation we never had... is painted on raw canvas using oil and charcoal and marks a change to the Artist's usual process of working on primed canvas. This different way of working has led to the painting developing both hand in hand with the method and application of paint whilst also referencing the Artist's internal and external world, past and present.
The Artist says of her practice,
"Scape, memory and identity are ever present in my work. My childhood, spent diversely in wide-open spaces with my father fishing for mackerel and at home with my mother's hoarding and mental health issues, defined my relationship to the sea and land and consequently my art practice: The uncertainty of the deep, the spirit and memory of open spaces, evoking freedom and connectedness.

Painting is ready to hang and signed on the canvas deep edge.

Materials used:
