Morning on the hill—
with Mick.
Mick Lawrence is Tasmania’s first ever surfer. He has lived in and around the ocean for over 50 years – which has cultivated a healthy addiction to the pleasure that the ocean brings to ones soul. Two years ago, his only child – his only son, lost his life to the ocean.
As a close friend, I am intrigued by the dilemma that he now has with the ocean, and inspired by his resilience and ability to maintain motivation in his now emptied world.
Mick tells me that spending time with me is a great pleasure that goes a long way to filling the void.
This work is my interpretation of Mick’s journey through grief and his coming to terms with immense loss at the hands of his biggest influence.
