In 2018 my partner was diagnosed with a life limiting cancer. These pieces of work are the result of the first twelve months of coming to terms (or not) with the loss of the future I had planned.  Alongside the sadness, joy and love, is the day to day existence – getting through it.   Mostly, days felt bleak, but I hung onto the occassional days, hours, moments, when there was a little sunshine, a little joy, a little bit of control.  And this is, in these circumstances, all we can do.  Hang on to the good days.  

​

These pieces form part of my Stitch Poems collection, not all of which is for sale at the moment, but you can read more about it here.
