140414

i look and look and still no sign 

and it looks alot more like my mother now I've lost it 


************




and she's moved into what used to be a family home 

where her aunt used to live 

130414


slight alteration to mouth this looks closest to my version 






dear aunt 

I'm really sorry to bring this up again ...

i am in alot of pain

wanting a photograph of that fairys face ...

its a bit like when i lost the puppet

and in order to not hold a grudge i need to make that clear ...

im also thinking of submitting it as part of an exhibition

can you just photograph the face

and email it to me please i implore you ...

and before it gets worked on

after which it might look different

i will also try to visit sometime 


930pm 









n this is some kind of an attitude thing 

like i want to 'make her do it' 

and she will of course 

sense that and dig her heels in 

my chest and heart

are full of fractured bones 


120414  930am

and its like sometimes my need to get a result 

takes precedence over my relationship with a person 

like I'm more concerned with getting that photograph 

than i am with my how i approach it 

and the need to be patient 

the nurses in hospital said you have to give people a chance 

its like then you are waiting all day for a newspaper 

and you wonder when is it appropriate to badger people for what you want 


and the tapestry starts to tell a story 

like the lost puppet 






10-120414 

makes you wonder what happened before cameras 

wen you couldn't make a copy 

and were great works lost in fires or stolen 

i suppose i thought it wasnt my design 

i can see now that my rendering of the face is quite unique 

and that it resembles my mother and maternal grandmother 

theres are other peoples renderings
