A photographic presentation of the artist's relationship with his mother through spontaneous images captured in and during conversation. The project presents a very private relationship to the public using humor as a lens, capturing the eccentricities of his mother's every day activities as a contemplative journal. This is an edited collection of images captured over a period of two years during a tumultuous and emotional period in the lives of the subject and the artist. Originally shot with a mobile device, the enlarged format of the images and the resulting distortion serve to veil and protect, even as the images create an intimate portrait of the relationship between subject and photographer, mother and son.
