About The Artwork
Wet laser C- print on Fuji Crystal DP II paper, silicon mounted to metal backing and a 2mm glossy acrylic front with a 1mm silver alumium edging. Each number in the edition is fabricated to order. Please allow 2 weeks from date of order for fabrication. The edition is 5 prints, two sized at 30"w x 45"h, 3 sized at 24"w x 36"h. This work was exhibited in a solo exhibition at the Honolulu Museum of Art in summer/fall 2018. #1 of 5 was purchased by the State of Hawaii for the Art in Public Places collection. This purchase will be #2/5. This work is a tribute to my mother. As a visual artist, I am dependent on sight for my work. When I was 18, she was diagnosed as being legally blind, and her condition worsened over time. According to her descriptions, she could see shapes and bright colors, but nothing in focus, no details. Yet she lived a full life, alone in her own home and fully participating in her community till the last few weeks of her life. For this series, I purposely used my camera in a manner to replicate the experience of blurred, out of focus sight. When I began this project in mid-August 2013, my mother was alive. I had not told my mother about this project as I wanted to surprise her when it was further along. On March 30, 2014, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She passed five weeks later. As events unfolded, I never got to do so. I will never know for certain if this was her personal experience or not. However, people who have been or are legally blind tell me this work replicates their vision. My hope is that this work will touch others who know or are themselves legally blind, and that is will increase awareness amongst others that people who are legally blind still have sight and can live full lives despite this condition.
