all the windows in my mother’s house is a site-specific installation where I attempt to preserve the teal quality of light in my parents’ home. I resonate on the few surviving mementos from my mother’s side of the family, along with adopted images, found objects, oral histories, home videos, and ephemeral fragments, to build a body of work that explores the tangibility and fragility of a family archive.
