In recognition of UK National Day of Reflection we’d like to share these works by Robert Bushe. They express a wistful contemplation of the space in our lives a loved one leaves behind.
Artist’s statement:
[These] small works were created following the loss of my father Fred. They are intimate imaginings of my father visiting my home in Leith (which he never did). I used a combination of oils and gouache to achieve a ghostly image and to help the narrative along.
This will be the third UK National Day of Reflection, you can find our more about how to be involved and about the network of ‘Walls of Reflection’ throughout the UK on the Marie Curie website.
“An opportunity to remember our loved ones who’ve died, support people who are grieving, and connect with each other. Please join us once again to mark the day with a minute’s silence at noon, a nationwide network of Walls of Reflection, and a series of grief-themed online programmes.”
