from mother/to mother alphabet- project 1



sweepings on cut-out contact paper, dimensions roughly 5x8" each

Each projects to life-size via a projector. I hope to have 26 of these, each one standing for a letter. As I was working today I jotted the following notes on the symbols meaning:

It is about having these motherly (loving) relationships with everyone: giving support and being supported. -

-so what kind of environment would support this kind of interaction?

-for example: what song brings you comfort? what sounds in general? what smells?

-can you make a gesture of support? that would support another?

-can you make a gesture of being supported?

(It does not have to be in the physical, figurative realm. How else might this interaction manifest? Can the projection somehow include the viewer's body?)
