'I Want To Speak Please'

Quilted banner, approx 4.5 x 1.5 metres.

Made for York Minds&Voices dementia support group.

All the quotes are from group members.

Each member chose their favourite colour and fabric. From these I cut the outlines of their raised hands.

They have so much to say, and deserve to be heard.

I miss my time with these amazing people.

'Our Own Coordinates - Poems About Dementia' was launched on Friday with readings from many of the poets involved.

It was an emotional, beautiful, brave and loving thing to witness.

The whole event can be viewed as and when you wish, here:
