House Clearance

After Fay’s father’s death in 2009, she made drawings of her parents and personal belongings found when clearing the family home where her father had lived for over 50 years. They enabled Fay to reassess her childhood, to re-instate her mother, and to remember her father. Belongings charged with emotion and thought.
