Five small coloured pencil drawings of the artists family at different times of their lives. The drawings are centred on each page with a lot of white space around the edges.

My intent in my body of work was to redirect the lens from the children in a family and focus on an aspect of family life that is often ignored: the growth of the parents. Based on candid photos, my work is a fragmented representation of my parent’s relationship, ageing and experiences as parents and individuals.

My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the artist Christina Papagianni.
