the time of her life
Lesley McIntyre

exhibition venue: The Courtyard

This body of work is a portrait of my daughter Molly's life virtually from birth until death.

She was a human being whom few had any expectation of - indeed life itself was not assumed to be sustainable. In fact she lived for fourteen years and the photographs provide the evidence of a quite remarkable childhood. They show the difference between living life and having life i.e. a pulse. Six days before she died she said "I've been healthy all my life until now". She never viewed herself as a sick child until the very end.
