Glenn Morgan I hope he makes it

Last year my dad was very ill and I spent numerous hours by his bedside in the Geelong hospital. This was a very worrying time as we thought we were going to lose him. Luckily, Dad is made of tough stuff and he pulled through.

This work was my response to this upsetting experience. I made the box first, then the small painting, and I used a mirror in both works to symbolise a time of reflection. I hung the two pieces together to make one work as a tribute to how much I love Dad. He’s a really good bloke.
