Diane McMenemy

This is my little girl. She has many obsessions when it comes to repeating things or she will just start to do something like this in the enclosed photograph... As you can see the floor was clear when she started. She got hold of a sweetie bouquet we were given at Christmas and this is how it started. She began adding things to it, anything she could get her hands on until she came to her completed work of art. I needed my boots so I put them on... This really distressed her; I promised I would put them back. We tried to tidy it up by taking a little piece away at a time but she became really upset and distressed and she would notice the tiniest difference. This is something that is really common with her. To us, it was just a mess but to her, it made sense. It was something very important to her.
