Broken Record

Using photographs found from the attic after my dad’s abandonment, I used photographs which captured my Grandmother’s memories with me that she could no longer remember as a result of her Alzheimer’s. This concept prolonged into several other pieces including ‘Trapped Memories’ and ‘Body and Mind.’ All 3 were pieces made during the last few months of My Grandmother’s life, as she had been diagnosed with stage 4 lymph node Cancer, giving her 3 month left to live. She managed 5 months. Her Alzheimer’s became a blessing in disguise as she could not remember why she felt sick, and the series of 3 are in response to this.
