Margaret Miller
Margaret's chosen object was a ceramic pair of horses brought back by her seafaring father as a gift for her mother. It had originally been inlaid with a clock-face, but this has now been replaced by a picture of her parents. Margaret recalled how her mother would sing a popular lullaby to her and her siblings, and regrets the demise of this tradition down the later generations of her own family. The missing clock-face, coupled with the faded photograph of her parents, evokes the passing of time. A specially formed choir of Year 7 pupils from the North Liverpool Academy learned, recorded and performed the lullaby Toora Loora for Margaret, reviving the memory and tradition.
