It's of her mother passing away in the stages of her severe illness before she passed away.

But you see Paula sat on a chair next to her mother and she's this much bigger, almost like a giant figure sitting next to her very frail, smaller princess.

almost like withering away, kind of like disappearing mother who's lying down next to her.

But it's a really interesting work because it's a print that was made with films where Paula would paint and draw lines onto a film that then got turned into a screen print, which I would call an original print.

That's why I use that term because it's not a reproduction.

It was actually made to be a print.

But it looks like a unique work on paper and it is so beautiful.

But it's the defiance of

She's about to lose her mother and this intense grief and loss, but there she is, this strong and larger presence in that work.

I was so struck by it.

I'd never seen that work before.

It's interesting because if you think about your own role in your mum's legacy now, because you have so much knowledge, really precise factual knowledge.

That was partly why I was so excited to meet you because I think your passion for your mum and your dad's sort of legacies of all the work they made, making sure it's all factually correct so that when you're no longer here, the world will have an accurate resource.

And I was really moved by that story of your mum drawing you

And painting you after your father had died and how interconnected your own grief was after your father had died.

And then your mum was trying to process the loss that she'd had via you because you kind of reminded and looked a bit like your dad to her in that amazing painting where she painted you as the central figure or him as the central figure.

But also now how your grief, you know, it's only been four years or so since your mum sadly passed.

Three and a half.

Three and a half years.

Yeah.
