Mixed-media video installation. One was that my mother had cancer for over three years. I went through the entire process with her, making this piece for her. The piece is also tied into my way of looking at the relationship between the body and the land. I wanted to look at scarring as a common issue that could be seen as benign or malignant.
Some scars are beneficial scars in that a disease has been cured.
Other scars are the scars of destruction. I don't feel that you need to create a goddess to have empathy. I had been working with landscape for so many years that I had a natural proclivity for it. After my mother became ill, certain things became explicit. So I carried these ideas about landscape to their ultimate conclusion.
