about this piece.
This picture started out as a sketch for an idea of a pottery piece I was going to build but turned into an expression of how I felt after losing Isla McKenzie on 9th September 2010. She was my 6th pregnancy and we have one living daughter who is 11 years old. We also lost Catharine Ellen in pregnancy 11th June 2005. Knowing your a woman means different things to different people but to me having lost my daughters has taken away what should be the natural thing for a woman to do. There's a sense of loss of identity. My living daughter and I find comfort in drawing, pottery and photography to help with our loss of daughter's and sisters. -Erica.
