‘A wall panel, listing the names of the family members depicted and giving details of where they met their death, told a story both unique and horribly typical; yet in one sense the family is preserved intact – a particularly female preoccupation – by the materials with which the artist has memoralised it. Her sense of the complex layering of historical experience and memory is given further expression by means of the deliberate fragmentation and stratification of the image.’
