Faith of a Mother

0.0 x 0.0

Stoneware Ceramic, 6”w. x 12”h. 9”d., 2007 If it were not for her faith I would be drooling in an institution. At the 41/2 I was bit by a Tsetse fly contracting Encephalitis Lethargic. My fever rose to 108 & I was in a coma for 6 weeks. The doctors said I would be severely retarded. My mother refused to accept this diagnosis & prayed for my full recovery. When I came home from the hospital she became my therapist and tutor and ended up getting a BFA, MA, MFA & M.Div.
