My Law

Description

I did this piece back in January 1995 when my dad died. It was completed in the days between his death and his funeral and was placed amongst the flowers during the service. To this day I'm not sure how I managed to do it but I think the focus of the complex knotwork and the knowledge that I was doing it for him helped me through those weird, sad, impossible days.

The words are lines (though not from the same verses) from a poem called 'My Law' which has been attributed to so many different writers over the years that I wouldn't like to name any one individual for fear of getting it wrong. There was also a dedication written below the central knot but I've removed that from this digital version as it was a personal thing, not for sharing.

It was done in ink and watercolor on parchment style paper which was then pasted onto cardboard - its become a little creased over the years.
