When we think about mortality and the process of aging (our own and our families) there is defiance, resistance, the urge to hold on and to preserve, to keep everyone with us somehow. Rather than focusing on the other, acceptance and the place where letting go starts. A year in the making, this triptych of drawings (onto my dads dried gunnera leaves) is an exploration of aging and mortality. See previous posts below for more on this work.
