Circling back to an old favourite, with an ogee format, but with more recent loose and textural (digitally) hand-drawn style and motifs that are drawn from my Morning Ink practice over the past year (which you can see more of at @tashagoddard.sketchbook and on my Substack).

Would have been my mum's 74th birthday today. I have mostly been holding the older Mama in my head and heart, but realised there are many other Jennys I can hold on to, and it's the Jenny who climbed trees and did cartwheels and swung crazily high on the swings who is speaking to me now.

This felt different today. I was drawing into the spaces and shapes, rather than thinking about depicting specifics. It was an interesting feeling of freedom, discomfort, curiosity. An almost meditative state. I let go of any connection to illustration, meaning or commerciality. Which feels new.
