I'm Not Crying, You're Crying - Stuart
Three people very close to me died over a two-year period (3 rd January 2019 to 31 December 2020). I
had never truly understood loss as I do now (age 49). Time heals, but I cry often. “All’s changed
since”. (from the 3 rd verse of the poem referenced below)
Since 2009 artists know to me and my Gallery have been doing portraits of me. There are about 310
of them now. I approached Bernard to take a photo of me to represent this time of loss in my life, so
it could form part of the collection of portraits.
