Mother’s Recipes (2018)

A recipe is an archive of information. Time-tested, good enough to keep, precious enough to be passed on. Here, it is wisdom, pain, loss.

Saved…revisited.

My work is aimed towards women who are over the fantasy.

As if to speak in code to the initiated,

        voicing what is often not spoken,

                   even by ourselves.

Hoping it will be recognized by those of us

                  who have been there.

To define our tribe.

I’m talking to them.

There is a truth about the cost.

A transformation we didn’t see coming.

Those who have lived it share a knowing.
