In the series, The Cusp of Reality, my Grandmother’s memories are recreated into dreamlike realities. These reenactments identify fertility, femininity, beauty, and how they are lost with age. As my Grandmother tried on some high-heeled shoes that she had not worn in several decades, her bad knees and long toenails made it impossible for her to walk in shoes that had once been a part of her life and identity.
These scenes were recreated to have a dreamlike
cross between reality and imagination.
When my Grandmother remembers her virgin wedding night, she is in her
older body inhibiting the space forcing her to face those feelings of anxiety
and fear once again.
These memories represent universal moments in
people lives such as fear, joy, pain, and happiness. All we truly have are our memories, which we recreate in our
minds into our own realities.
