Pottery works by 'Sally'

Six ceramic sculptures made by a patient of Rita Simon, given the pseudonym 'Sally.'

Works by 'Sally' are referred to by Rita Simon in her book, Symbolic Images in Art as Therapy, pages 142-152.

'Sally' was a young woman dealing with an earlier bereavement which had been triggered by discord between her and her mother. Her mother became ill and died but before she did so, she asked Rita Simon to work with 'Sally.'

This information is taken from Rita Simon's book, Symbolic Images in Art as Therapy, pages 142-152, in the chapter which looks at bereavement art in children.
