Our relationship to the figure of the mother is, of course, a recurring theme for artists. In this week's edition of Something Understood the writer Sarah Cuddon ponders the "mother as muse". With reference to the writings of Simone de Beauvoir, Virginia Woolf and Lorna Goodison, and through music by Patti Smith, John Lennon and Pergolesi, she explores how people come to terms with the woman who brought them into being. And Sarah walks in the garden of her family home in the company of her own mother, seeking traces of her mother and the legacy she鈥檚 left.
