Made whilst caring and collaborating  with my son during the M(other) & Son arts residency n Tampere, Finland. I recently found this in my box of documents and art work in the studio, and really liked it as I felt it captured the fleeting nature of our time together in Tampere. Art made with a seven year old is made on the move in the now. The writing on the back is gradually fading, it will probably eventually disappear. It is interesting how upon reflection it is little snippets of art like this that I value the most. I love that the words were so important that I had to write them down on a sanitary towel.
