about

This piece was written for my grandpa, Val. I sought to capture the tension of life with cancer; the release that death can bring; and the quiet, slow-burning way that Val brought joy, humour and love to so many peoples’ lives. At the time I was writing this piece, just after Val died, a great friend of mine was seeking the light at the end of a dark tunnel. Through this piece, I wanted to show her the joy and beauty that Gramps left for us all.
