It's from a found image, but when I saw it, it didn't look like that. It's a derivative image, and I decided to take it further to express it. There's also some gold paint, some silver paint, lots of other things on it. But it's all about what happens when you let the children decide what you're going to wear and what you're going to do, and how putting the children in charge is good parenting — which could also be described as good childing, really.
About the frames: my frames are mostly second-hand, rescued from charity shops and sometimes the rubbish pile. Small scratches, scuffs, fading and light damage are intentional: a nod to the past, and to the millions of images people have chosen to display in their homes to communicate who they are. The recycling may show. That's part of what makes each piece an original, and part of the story. Small print
