Confession is a painting that appears dark. Out of the darkness comes light. My mother was having a memory assessment. There was a moment where she confessed to something she’d never told a soul before. She had lit a cigarette. Gentle questions meant we learnt that it was in the underground sheltering from a bombing raid. We decided she was most definitely forgiven.

At the same time there was a confession played out as a police officer hid dressed as a nun in an afternoon TV serial. This was one of the programmes loved as it reminded her of her childhood and a different time. I asked her if I could create the painting and was given the green light. She thought it was a bit of fun.
