my Mother and me




2023
Single channel video animation with stereo sound composed and performed on a 20 note hand-cranked musical movement, 3’53”
Location: Forest Garden, Suffolk
my Mother and Me is an experimental moving image lament conveying the melancholy of grief. The fruits of different generations take turns simply to hold each other in an all encompassing embrace to the awkward musical accompaniment.

Cydonia oblonga is a downy, highly aromatic quince from the forest garden.
