Corporate Workplace Code of Conduct for Meeting Robert Smith
For the Negative Space Challenge
I have tried to write a piece honouring my late father and the portrait my husband never quite got finished. It's just to hard still, even after three years. So instead of going round and round in my head I have decided to go with irreverance.
The dictionary definition of irreverent is as follows : Irreverent is an adjective that means lacking the expected respect or seriousness toward things that are usually treated with honor, holiness, or official importance.
I can assure you this is something my father did quite often!
