forging relationships

making connections

this peice acts as a recording of my relationship with my mother as well as a general investigation into the way relationships and connections  of all sorts are created and what efforts are needed to maintain them.

as my grandmother ties the braided ends of my hair to my mother’s the awkward, unsecure connection between the two heads is reflective the status of my relationship with my mother: an un natural connection that needs constant energy and maintainance. my grandmother is a mother to both of us: she is the guiding force that brings us together in the piece and in life.
