I love the continuing conversation you’re having with your mother and her art and thought through these objects. ‘Diving into my mother’s wreck’ (such a resonant phrase) and finding meaning, connections and perspective.
Thank you for pointing me to this wonderful essay, Eliza. Goodness, yes! Tracey Emin had nothing on your mum!
My parents’ bed was not used as a bed after about 1975, so you can imagine the excavation that went on to unearth it after they died. I felt emotional seeing that room stripped back, remembering nights as a child when I was scared and would cuddle in between my mum and dad.
So pleased to discover your writing in memory of your mum.
Definitely very powerful, Eliza!
I like the connections you made between your mother, Adrienne Rich and Tracy Emin. A mother, a daughter, a trove of art... a story for a lifetime.
Thank you, Rona!
