They were words to live by--a blueprint...
...Quite simple in actual design, the painting has an extremely complex nature that reflects Steven's perception of her real mother, Alice. In a sort of tribute to her mother, the work includes different moments of Alice's life, snapshots that slowly dissolve from black and white to faded gray. My own eye was immediately drawn to the central image of her dying mother, a frozen moment that captures the reality of pain and suffering.
