Description
My 80yr old mother, who has Alzheimer's, created this beautiful summer flower arrangement. My treatment of the image represents the fragmentation of memory, vitality and linear time with this condition. My mother is happy, loved and cared for by my siblings and myself and in this phase there are times of lucidity, coherence, of conscious connection, laughter, enjoyment and remembering and then times of confusion and vulnerability. Alzheimer's is indeed 'the long goodbye' and I cherish the time afforded me with her as she lives in the 'now'!
