This painting is currently showing in The Spring Salon @turngallery in great company with my fellow gallery artists and @merrickadams.studio Solo show in the main gallery space.
My mum told me that when she was feeding her babies, she pictured a little cartoon of a mother deflating, whilst her baby who was glued to her breast, inflated like a balloon. I made this painting when I was feeding my youngest and he was attached to me for many hours of the day and night. It feels a long time ago and I miss it, but I did feel a bit like I was shrinking as my baby grew and grew.

In conversation last week with @sascha.behrendt discussing me and Penny’s show and our formative years at Chelsea College of Art and hanging out at Picasso on the Kings road. Though it was a lot cooler in the late 60s than when I was there in the early 2000s
