- Why did you create this work?
This piece was commissioned by the Guardian through Art Director Rita Liu. She reached out to say they had a story on miscarriages and fetal remains, which is a a tricky subject to depict. I wanted to focus on the thesis of the piece: almost 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, and they can affect anyone. I wanted to show many people in this difficult and now legally uncertain momement. - How were your illustrations used?
