Imprinted
12 x 9, Assemblage on Canvas
A depiction of the mother/daughter relationship. Regardless of what kind of mother we had--even if we never knew her—every step we take, in any direction, is affected by this first relationship. The netting can be a safety net or we can feel caught in a net—restricted by maternal rules or expectations. The fire also has multiple meanings: being warmed by the fire of love, walking through fire together, or being burned—such is the complexity that often exists between mothers and daughters.
