Doily of Foremothers
hand-cut plastic tarp 8.5 feet diameter There are more than 100 skulls in this doily. If one generation is twenty years, then this doily represents more than 2000 years of ancestors. Since all the lives of my maternal ancestors are living within my body, I created this artwork to show my respect and gratitude to them. The work extends beyond its physical presence, as the shadow creates another doily on the floor and wall. 2014
