I would love to know the history behind this, intriguing, like everything about it.

Cheers Heather. I play around with old images and arrange them to suggest a narrative... feel free to make up your own story :-)

My era I think 😆. Shades of old school photos - love it!

An interesting piece. You wonder whether the ghost like images are past descendants looking down on this child. I wonder if it depends on what every individual reads into it - or am I being too philosophical?

The little boy Marjorie is my father in law so it’s probably from the 40s or early 50s

Cheers Stephen

Not really Spencer, the thought occurred to me while I was painting it.

Really captivating Steve, lots of room for interpretation.

Masterful

Thanks Richard

Cheers Diane

Arresting and open to so much interpretation. I remember having to stand still for photos at that age (during the 50,s).

Cheers Leslie I’ve also seen my generation slip into this pose for video :-)
