Recently I took my two grandchildren to the new Tate  Switch House  - what a brilliantly positive experience it was. The staff are friendly  and helpful, the exhibits are accessible for all kinds  of audiences and the building is wonderful. I took them into the Louis Bourgeois rooms and they were really gripped! Apart from liking the anatomical bits especially any 'bum' or 'boobie' references they loved drawing under  the spider 'Maman' and were  very  drawn to 'A Woman  Without Secrets'. 
​
They were so inspired that  they made some drawings of this which I'm posting here. Boèce who is five and a half commented that  there weren't  any ears or hair, so he added these in.... and also he was  troubled by the lack of arms  and legs so  he added  a couple of these in as  well. Léone who is three  and 9 months was not  bothered by these omissions but felt that the heads could do with a bit of green.

The background colour of the drawings is  yellow - that's the only colournI brought with us and doesn't necessarily reflect the children's preferred choice.

I hate how poor my family is. Do not get me wrong, I do not blame my family for being poor, but it just really frustrates me that we are. If the world is truly fair, then why are there people like us. I know that God works in mysterious ways, but this is just too much. I hope that we can all just live a life that is fair, not something that gives favor to those who have money.
