I make a lot of work about this relationship I have with my mother, feeling like I'm following in her footsteps. I feel this way for various reasons, but one of the reasons is MCAD.
When thinking about the prompt given (to create a companion piece to an older piece), I thought about how I make work about my mom, but have never made work in response to her work.
When she attended MCAD, she was a very interdisciplinary artists, and I am not. So this project forces me to step out of my comfort zone.
I decided to create a piece in response, or conversation, with her work from MCAD. This "Conversation #1" is the first of many in this ongoing project.
The pieces:
