The Devil Won't Keep series (ongoing)
'I have the ongoing fantasy that is also my greatest fear, that one day I'll just walk from this life and I need to leave my children with an extensive portrayal of what they meant to me and how I saw them, that will in turn be a memory of me.
Obsessions with morbidity, death and religion; fear of being left or leaving. It feels overwhelming to be a mother sometimes. I walked alongside a cliff edge with my tiny baby and I had to fight my consciousness to stop my arms from dropping my child over the edge, they were trying to float away from my body. My fear like a stench, this horrendous pressure to do this {parenting} right, an over powering fear of myself. That I loved this child so much -a coming of Christ. I knew then I wouldn't be capable of doing it justice. In all of this I am also trying to heal myself, reimagine my own childhood and grow up alongside my children.'
