KEEPSAKES

I kept all my daughters’ shoes up to the age of five. The jelly shoes are identical to ones I wore myself, aged three on Polzeath beach. The single shoe was always just that; bought in a junk shop in Penzance, I loved the soft leather and the way the blue had faded away.These were painted just as they are, hanging in my studio against the wood panelled walls.
