Foremost in my mind when I painted this was my mother's death in August 2001 and the feeling that I was about to begin a new direction in my life and work. The figure in red seems to represent both my mother and myself. She is entering another world where a fusion of space and time creates marvellous perspectives. The figure on the right looks like a priest or judge. He seems a benevolent presence. The watchful head on the left is, I imagine, a spectator contributing yet another interpretation of the picture.
