Note: Allen Sapp’s mother (Agnes Soonias) was often ill during his childhood, suffering from tuberculosis, and died when the artist was about 14 years old. At this point, Sapp was cared for predominantly by her parents, who had helped his mother care for him during his childhood. In this rare work, Sapp shares an early memory from his time with his mother, where she sits mending, while Nokum smokes her pipe.
