The women who came before me were brave, gutsy, and spirited. They were mothers, daughters and sisters, sometimes stubborn but always determined, nurturing and caring. Depicted at work, play, and during milestone events, the women in these family photographs cover over a 100-year period from 1885 to 2010. It was an honor to pay tribute to my female ancestors. Constructed of 25 double-sided wooden screens, this sculpture features woven surfaces made of hand-painted paper embellished with printed and written words and family images.
