1142 DAYS (A PAPER CROWN IS STILL A CROWN)
Oil and aerosol on canvas, 35" x 25 1/2" (89 x 64.7cm).
In 2018 my dad and family discovered he had a brain tumour. It was one of the most profound moments of my life, I remember just going into work in a daze, I felt like I was underwater, nothing was clear I only had one thought 'my dad has brain cancer'.
In 2021 my dad was given the all clear. When I decided to make this work I instinctively made a paper crown for my dad to wear. This painting is a celebration of a great man, who continues to be a great man because of his strength and determination. It is moments like this that teach me how important friends and family is.
