JEFFERS, MARK (1962 - ) Artist. Christine and, to a lesser extent, Spencer, are both fixated on delusional images of their younger selves. Christine has gradually filled her home with artefacts from our shared childhood. I'm not sure why this should have become a halcyon period. As I recall she spent an inordinate amount of time weeping in her bedroom. Despite the inconveniences of single parenthood and divorce, she's incontestably happier now than she ever was then. She persists, however, in accumulating the detritus of the past. Most recently she commissioned local artist, Mark Jeffers, to paint an oil rendition of a photograph of the three of us at her eleventh birthday. Putting aside the anomaly of commissioning what she obviously considers the preservation of innocence to a noted degenerate, she's forgotten the fact that, shortly after the original photograph was taken, Spencer ruined the party by jabbing Kirsten McCall in the eye with a sharpened stick.
