New book gives insight into a Mother's love
This is a very moving and beautiful piece of work. I find these images and words extremely emotional and full of feeling. Up Close: A Mother's View is just a wonderful book.
Dame Helen Mirren, DBE
Up Close: A Mother's View is an extraordinary look at the life of a child with Down's syndrome.
With some 50 photographs taken over the first 13 years of her daughter Ophir's life, and a meditative thoughtful text, Fiona Yaron-Field conveys her moods, reactions, impulses and emotions as a mother.
It is a work of great tenderness by a mother about her daughter, about their life together; together and apart, in intimate moments caught silently by the camera, from birth to adolescence.
The DSA has a limited stock of Fiona's book, and all proceeds will go towards the work of the DSA.
