Question:
To what extent did your working together enable you to address issues of loss and mortality?
Was mourning and grief an aspect of your relationship with Jo during the last year of her life?
Answer:
Thinking about the question after Jo's death, I can see a recent project was my unconcious way of dealing with the fact that we would never see each other again. It was like the war photographer who has to get that last shot no matter what is happening around him. I suppose I would have overcome some of the loss and trauma had she just drifted away without being part of the last creative project. Unfortunately, cancer waits for no one.
