Extract from  Bridgett Froehlich artist statement

My personal experience of polio was as an adult in knowing Hubert.

Hubert had polio as a child in England and his right leg was a lot shorter, he walked with a limp and wore a black built up boot.

He was a remarkable man, so kind and generous by spirit, always helping other people. Like many of his generation he never to my knowledge complained about anything or anyone.

Hubert was a close friend of my Father, who in his later years lived with me, and would often visit so we had a fair bit of contact.

My father’s unit overlooked our garden which had a big old chicken house/run where I kept my extended family of fan tailed doves. I can still picture Hubert and my Father sitting there with their cups of tea enjoying watching the doves; how they would smile when the cheeky favourites would sit on my shoulder and head as I walked about the garden.

“Loving Doves” is in memory of Hubert.
