Traces of joy remain, and there is beauty in the fragments, but exhaustion replaces celebration.





There are traces and crumbs of my old active life everywhere around my house. Party clothes fill my wardrobe, strewn like streamers. Fancy glasses and platters fill my cupboards. I have more chairs than I can sit on.
My house is now a still, quiet, empty nest.
Living with ME/CFS, I am housebound and isolated.
I miss my past life, especially the lustre of the 70s and 80s. The patterns and colours and rituals that shaped me. Everything was shiny and exciting.
Setting up and photographing this party from my childhood was a negotiation with my limited energy. I painted it digitally because I’m too fatigued to hold brushes up and work with oils. That limitation shaped the process and is part of the work itself.
My house is now a still, quiet, empty nest.
