Family Heirloom

This is a very personal piece reflecting some interesting family history. The red braid was handed down to my red-haired Aunt Kay, who handed it down to me, her red-haired niece. In piecing the story together, we confirmed it was from Helen Clarissa Finch Tanner, my great-great grandmother. She died while she was still a red head.

The goldstone jewellery was also given to me by Aunt Kay. It was passed down to her by her Aunt Margie, who got it from her mother, Alice May Tanner. I felt the pieces all belonged together, showing our family links and connections.

The Mother of Songs…

I made a hologram entitled, “The Mother of Songs…” which was shown in Toronto at Interference Gallery in 1992 and Mexico City in 1995 in the net@works exhibition.

The piece was based on my experience being pregnant and giving birth to my first son, Rowan. I had an Artist-in-Residence Award at the Fringe Research studio. The technician worked with me to capture the three pulse holograms used in the artwork.

The holograms were hung on the glass and accompanied by symbols of creation and unity. The pulses used as the background were symbolic of new life and a nod to the type of holography this is.

autARKy

My husband Steev Morgan is also an artist and we sometimes collaborate on work like this installation piece we did together. Shown at El Centro National de las Artes in Mexico City in 1997, it was part of a group exhibit entitled “A Life of Its Own”.

autARKy was a computer and a desktop constructed as a self-sustaining system; planted with seeds and watered automatically. The plants grew and the piece changed dramatically over the months the show was up.
