Weight of the Mind's Periapt, 2021

As an Australian living with disability, I wanted my portrait to be of someone truly deserving of recognition, so I selected my primary carer, Warren. A former lecturer in science, mathematics and computing, he is generous in educating others. Warren is skilled in fine woodwork after instruction from friend and internationally renowned craftsman Geoff Hannah. He is committed to wife Robyn, best mate to 23-year-old black Burmese cat Mendelssohn, and a keen fisherman. Most importantly, at 75 years young, Warren is my inspirational primary carer after a truck ran into me resulting in spinal cord injury which robbed me of my independence.
