Blue, although in my series of 6 sculptures that seemed to define my life in 2005 and 2006, is together with her brother ‘Still waters’ more personal than the four horses. My daughter, on her way to Edinburgh university and leaving the nest, happily gave me an hour of her time sitting among her to be packed possessions. That I was not so happy about her leaving is clear from the sculpture.
