Consisting of multiple images of smiling and non-smiling sunflowers this work is a colourful, fun looking strip as if a child’s sampler piece. The sunshine child is the bright looking, attentive, caring, considerate and always smiling child. This behaviour brings much appreciation and reinforcement from those surrounding them and can easily become an unconscious way of being. This piece is a playful yet serious depiction of choice: when to smile and when not to smile. It’s saying “I will smile when it’s true. I will be real with my smile”
