"Deities"
Series of Six 8ft x 4ft Drawings
Charcoal on Wood
Artist Statement:
The prints and drawings displayed here are works made in reaction to my mother's death two years ago. As her caretaker, I saw her deterioration. The only memories in which I can recall her face so clearly are those in the week before she died, despite the 24 years worth of memories prior.
My work deals with the unreliable memory. It shows a destruction of a reality I thought I had lived up until the point my mother died. I mean to face my own unreliable memories and question how death universally leaves black marks on those left living in its wake.
