Seckon has created a highly autobiographical body of work including paintings, collages and an installation, all based around the theme of his mother's skirt: the wrap-around dress which she wore whilst pregnant and also during the artist's early years in the politically turbulent 1970s.The works, especially produced for this show, are an elegiac reflection on the history of his troubled country and the tribulations it has encountered. Yet from this damaged past and a present beset by uncertainty and change, comes an affirmation of the human spirit and the continuing beauty of life.
