15 possible things to say to someone you won’t see again, 2020

15 possible things to say to someone you won’t see again is part of a body of work responding to the challenges of reverse parenting (children caring for their parents) during the Covid Pandemic. It appeared in the U.K. publication Stay At Home (MAM) and relates to the artists personal experiences. In it, she writes: “My father was newly arrived in a nursing home and we had been unable to visit him for 10 weeks. Our last days with him were shrouded in P.P.E.”
