Who made this

Tysirk composed this in Chicago, nineteen days after Samuel was born. He has eight children, including Samuel and Nora. He has also lost Treivae. At Treivae's funeral he said: "That mattered more than she probably realized." This is one of six pieces he has made, beside eight pictures and six writings.
