Mother’s Love

Mother’s Love is a series of essays about social issues. I say that my readers know my essays are good for them like broccoli, but the jokes throughout are sort of the cream cheese that makes the essays tasty. I started writing them in 2014 and then picked up where I left off in 2021. Some of the best essays were written while travelling to Brooklyn in New York in 2021. The other more notable essays were written after long beach walks where I would empty my mind out so when I started writing I would only have a heading in mind and then let the rest flow directly out of my subconscious. I often say that my life is sort of a circus that my essays are based on but the Dalai Lama says circuses are fun.

Luke Foster has a background mainly in visual arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from College of Fine Arts in 1994, a Master of Fine Arts from College of Fine Arts in 1997 and a Graduate Diploma of Education in 2010 from Southern Cross University and all in Australia. He has exhibited in over 30 exhibitions in the mediums of sculpture drawing, installation art and animation. Although his main background is in visual arts, he wrote a thesis for his master’s degree, which was a train wreck of horror and spelling mistakes. However, the final chapter titled Epilogue Meets the Aftermath was of interest as it outlined a travelling art festival.
