Domus Osteo
Coming home for us was a sanctuary after the trauma and constant medical interventions.

As I was creating Domus Osteo, I was thinking about the skin prick test they did on Geoff in hospital. He got so sick of them prodding him with needles (sharp or blunt) to see where and if he could feel anything.
Coming home for us was a sanctuary after the trauma and constant medical interventions.
The four encaustic panels feature all raw materials from our home.
I am a contemporary artist and primary carer for my husband Geoff, who suffered a life changing spinal injury in 2020
