Jo Spence in collaboration with Rosy Martin.
Spence wrote of this group of works:
"As part of our Mother and Daughter work I map out my continuing desire, as an adolescent, to be loved by my mother. Alongside this I place my perceived view of her at that time." (Cultural Sniping, p.198)
Martin recalls that Spence referred to this image as "'Centurion Mother' the one who stands guard and judges)"
We are grateful to Rosy Martin for her assistance in cataloguing this work.
