Description

My Father and Mother decided to meet up with me on that fateful day as I'd moved a few hours from the family home. We went shopping and at roughly 12.15 my mum asked if she should purchase a t-shirt for my brother. I pulled out my mobile phone and dialled his number which rang out to his voicemail. Looking back, we believe our kid had already parted this world. When the time came to say goodbye after what had been a great day, as always I promised to call once I was back home safe and sound. I'll never forget that phone call. My mum answered first of all, barely able to speak, crying and sobbing uncontrollably she managed to utter the words "I'll pass you to your Dad" My Mum's Mum was the only grandparent we had living and I thought naturally that age had caught up with her, oh how wrong I was and meaning no ill feeling on my Gran I wish that was correct to this day. My Dad then came on the phone and said, "We have the police here, we've got home and found Ross hanging in his room. We'll call you back." This was the day the darkness arrived, I dropped to my knees and a cloud of gloom began to surround me. A part of me really did die with my little brother this day, almost 20 years ago and this is depicted in the work as my hands and arms have turned into a skeletal form. The blood that surround me in this creation shows the death of my brother, while the dark figures start to appear closer and harder to shake off through time. These dark figures are the ones I fight in my mind which on some day's represent a constant battlefield where I fight my Demons. The grey sky and moon represent the fading light that once filled me, yet now flickers as if I'm about to be consumed in complete silence of a blackout.
