Memorial
Sharyn EGAN: artist
Memorial is about my family who have passed away. The three large forms represent people I have lost.
My mother who I never met is represented by the smaller form on the right, her brother (my uncle) who I got to know late in his life and my first-born son, who is with them now, are represented by the two larger forms on the left of the canvas. The small circle speaks to the eternal light of the sun, to hope and to healing after the loss of people we love.
