After two weeks away from my studio I have come back with clear ideas on how to fix my paintings and continue with new ones.
I have two which I intend to have in my final show which are of the dimensions 5’6 x 6′. I am going to begin a third next week so just looking at what to paint.
I keep looking back to iconic depictions of motherhood (Madonna and Child) and I want to make my work challenge these icons.
Contemporary images of mothers need not be iconic cannons of perfection, but can tell truths.
I will paint ‘mother’ not as an icon but as a person sacrificing part of her life to give to another.
