'Bride' Charcoal and Printed collaged text on brown paper
Drawing: a small Mater of Life & Death
AnneMarie Campbell 25/1/32 - 20/9/23
These drawings represent the final days of my mother Annemarie Campbell. They are a documentation of what she endured in her final weeks in hospital.
I stayed with her throughout each night and within the quiet dark room would draw her in this limbo state. Hopefully these drawings give a minute look at her remarkable strength and the love she was held in as well as the grace with which she endured her suffering .
(They were all drawn at her bedside except for the head studies which represent the witnesses and the poster pieces which were drawn in the studio.)
All drawings are Charcoal on paper and some have printed text collaged.
