There must be at least 2,000 of these unfiltered internal dialogues, channeling telephone conversations with carers, social workers, and family members through a cast of recurring characters. As Mum faced the generational shift, instability, and responsibility, she maps troubling power dynamics;  the voices of these creatures tangled together enmeshed in responses and feeling out of control. 

They also support. The discarded envelope, excess baking paper, domestic surfaces become a place for the voices to emerge as spirits of the moment, freed, averted from internal tension, imagined, re-organised, and relegated externally as records of existence. These drawings are a lifeline of her art practice, a "playground always available", even when studio space is not. Not quite memories, or romanticisations, they offer a view from the unconscious working mind; a link into the power of the human psyche to invite symbols, images, and emotions to co-exist with situations.
