Filling the Tins
When my mother passed away I was left considering and contemplating my memories of her. High among these were some intense memories around her cooking, baking, and the things she used to say to me and my siblings. Eventually I began making a work that was part memorial, part penance. I was inspired by the Japanese concept of Kintsugi to gild a damaged dinner set with gold leaf, build a dinner table with representations of my mothers life included in it, and embroider a selection of my mother's sayings onto a tablecloth.
