Prayer - A young child hides in the corner, a prayer etched on a grave to her side. This place is old. A spider web has made itself at home, but new, freshly-laid roses sit at the figure’s feet. Sometimes in the night, we all go to this place in our minds, and rock ourselves while we pray.

This was the first piece I did with what has now become known as “the pink figure”. I was going through a time where I was writing down the memories I have from my childhood sexual abuse, and I wrote a piece called “Prayer”. This is the painting companion. It breaks my heart and yet touches me at the same time.
