"Beatings Of The Devil" is based on the concept and weather event called sunshowers, or, as my grandmother would often say when it rained while the sun was shining, “The devil is beating his wife”. This wildly inappropriate, and outdated colloquial phrase, which resonated deeply within me as a child, provides a point of departure and interpretation for this work.

Created through a series of shoots spanning over four years, the piece has evolved into a memorial to my mother, and a reckoning for my father, who recently lost his wife of 51 years.
