"Little Eva carry on..." iris inkjet print, 20x24", 1992

This series represented a return, in 1992, to addressing themes of personal significance and image/family history. The impetus behind this shift was the death by suicide of my grandmother, Eva, in the spring of 1992. Her death led me to consider the complex intergenerational relations which are indicative of our family's history, and by extension, all family histories. The images represent attempts to visually reconcile and connect with relatives both past and present. I have created a symbolic reality for the consideration of personal family histories.
