Description:

Drawings of my mother, a refugee from Nazi Germany, while she was dying in Hospice - a visual diary - interspersed with images of war. Marlene Dietrich singing Pete Seeger's moving song is the link between the personal and political.

Yes, I saw her in a different way figuratively and literally.

Will you do me a favour? Will you draw a picture of your mother at her most beautiful - young, vibrant and smiling and place it somewhere? for us to see. for her? After all, that's what she is now.

I watched my mother die when I was 21. Did drawing the picture's help you at all? God Bless xxx

Accurate. People are like flowers in this way. The depth and breadth of the experience changes people. It is powerful. Thanks for capturing it for us.

That's a heavy piece, Grace, maybe too heavy for me at this moment. Hard to be objective and critical for me right now. I recently went through a similar experience and I did not have had my wits about me enough to create more than a tear-stained Pollock knock-off on a Kleenex, so I applaud you for your stamina, composure and self-awareness.

In this age of special effects and sensory bombardment, it is wonderful to see how expressive it still is to simply sketch. Graupepillard drawings are exceptional.
