Father and Mother

Honor Your Father and Mother
Parents' clothes, gauze; with sound and light components
Alternative Media Exploration (Subversive Fashion project)

I created this installation with  the notion of the nature of identity found in parents. It addresses the duality of fear and desire in growing up.  The sound component of the piece was a recording of my parents' voices.

Susanna, I didn't get to see this in person, but it seems so powerful. I love that this is what you chose to represent. As an artist and a believer I think this is such a strong representation of what you are trying to say. I can't seem to find words, but I really really like it. "It makes my heart go pitter patter"...like Meghan would say. I love you sooo much sweet girl, I'd love to hear more about it!

Hey der. I'm not sure if these images are one of the reasons you may have borrowed my camera one of those times, but if so I must tell you I am very proud of you. The photographs themselves, while not the point, are beautiful both technically and formally. Get it, girl. :o)
