George |
|
I got Mum to make me this Mephisto face for a play we put on when I was at Uni. She made it under protest and always said she was sorry she had made such an evil-looking fellow. My roommate and I called him George and he hung on the wall of our room with a cigarette between his lips. |

Mieta |
|
Mieta was the mother of one of dad's farm workers. She sat for Mum to be modelled in clay. The operation took place in the kitchen: Mum never had a proper studio. |

Berries (pastel)
Caroline Series #1 |
|
Mum looked after our daughter Caroline for ten days in 1974, while we were on hols in Lesotho. When it was too hot to play outside in the middle of the day, she amused Caroline by telling her stories and illustrating them with pastel drawings. When we fetched Caroline, I took the drawings away with me and had them framed. |

Mum embroidered this wall hanging for me with wool and a large needle - her eyesight was already very poor. |
