Joanne, remembering her son Patrick

Joanne: Artist Statement



All of these are things my son loved, things he had or things he created. He loved to skate board and go to concerts…he wore a lot of tie-dye. They are all pieces of him. I am sentimental and I haven’t gotten rid of anything. And I have a lot of memories. When he was in recovery, he thought he was stronger than he was. My Patrick was kind, just not enough to himself.
