72" x 72" oil, raw pigment on canvas
After painting the sperm whales as a family sleeping in columns I started this painting with people underwater. I then realised it was my own family, me holding little sister who died, hand, three brothers in the background and big sister standing apart watching. Also that it is perhaps me holding my own self as a small child, hand.
