ANNE'S MEMORIAL SCREEN

This garden screen is being created for Grenfell Community Health in memory of Anne Cobham (an angel), a community nurse who died last year from a brain tumour. The girls are creating a garden in her memory, the sunflower was a much loved flower of Anne's and a symbol of schitzophrenia which was an area of interest to her. The screen isn't finished yet and I will keep you updated as to it's progress, of course it will need to rust before it is acceptable! When the girls first visited me and I showed them a sketch of my idea, they were
amazed that it was exactly what they had in mind! The construction of the sunflowers was tedious with the cutting and grinding of 31 petals for each flower, not my usual style as I like to use found objects, but this is a special project and it has opened my mind to further ideas.
