Parents and Children

This is a bit stark looking, but it’s representing being a child as an adult, looking in at your elderly parents in isolation… I’m quite enjoying lock-down and all the possibilities it throws up, things that you actually have the time to do- but I haven’t seen my mum for nearly 3 months- and she can’t use a computer! I put my Dad in there too, even though he died 3 years ago- I’d love to see them both face to face. When I last saw my mum, she looked like a doll at her window.. We’re all well though, and it’ll be great to enter the dolls house when we surface. Me looking in on them emphasises how roles shift as we get older.
