Flannel flowers
Creation date: 2013
'When my husband Peter was dying at home, I was drawing these flannel flowers up in the studio, but I wanted to arrange them as though you were in the bush looking up at the sky. I remember showing him the finished drawing and he absolutely loved it. I wanted it to have the wonderful feeling of Islamic art in mosques where you look up into a dome of white and blue stars. That same feeling of peaceful rapture you get from nature. I wanted to get that feeling you get when you lie on the grass and look up at the sky that is both peaceful and awe-inspiring.'
