Things I Tell My Daughter that I Need to Remind Myself, 2021

Things I Tell My Daughter That I Need to Remind Myself, 2021 - ongoing
site specific installation with found chair, graphite, institutional corner

Situated in the corner, previously deemed a site of disciplinary action for children, ‘Things I tell my daughter that I need to remind myself’ offers a moment of relief, support and reflection for mothers. The open chair invites any mother to take a seat and meditate on a guiding principle that they might’ve offered to their own child that they could benefit from receiving: Get Your Balance, Take Your Time, Just Slow Down, It’s Okay To Be Sad, Rest is Best. This work intentionally disrupts the typical association of the corner with disciplinary action and instead creates a space for personal and private contemplation within a public setting like a gallery or museum.
