Artist's statement

The first panel, a shaped lino block, shows my parents’ first house when they were still together. The house is shown being built, suggesting the beginning of our journey, the foundations of what was to come.

The second panel is from a photograph that reflects my childhood.

The final reduction panel depicts the house I live in now; it represents my Mum’s success and holds many dear memories for me. The yellow colour symbolises my happiness and my contentment in my current situation.
