A figure turns away from the viewer, raising her arms across her head. Blue skin and a turquoise ground are traced by vivid pink contours, while an orange orchid introduces warmth beside the partly concealed face. The title connects a flower to the recollection of a mother. Gesture, colour and association give the work a psychological intimacy, holding closeness and privacy together. This is the collection’s interpretation of the reproduced image.
