Look out 👀 for this painting by at The Good Grief Show

For dad

As we were losing you
I sketched botanicals in waiting rooms
between ringing my hands

Seaweed, coral, moss, tree bark
and fallen leaves
collected in nature
refer to time and to distance

In becoming something new
they tell a story
of memory
and ultimately of love
