Inscape Tributes 2021
Creating tribute pieces for Inscape Tasmania is pretty much one of the best gigs ever. It is so special to listen and learn from patients in the Royal Hobart Hospital — all with unique stories to tell! Here are some recent ones:
When people reflect on the special moments in their lives it’s always something simple but profound. For Sandra, it was the sound of bagpipes at her wedding, roses, the colour yellow, researching her family tree and a funny moment with her husband and a seal. It’s so fun to put these together in just a few hours and special to see their reaction to it when it’s done.
Ingrid generously shared some of the things that bring joy to her life and we immediately clicked. Sometimes that connection leads to an even more special illustration. This is the fabric of Ingrid’s life and it’s one of my favourite tribute pieces to date.
I created a tribute piece for Elizabeth- a patient at the Royal who loves nature, animals, crafts and fossicking for gemstones. It was wonderful to hear some of her favourite memories and turn them into art for her to keep.
For Colleen, it was a quilt representing her love of sewing and the fabric of her life which involved so many special things. She also had the best smile.
