Summary:

"A RECORD OF HOW THE MOTHER'S TEXTILE BECAME SOUND is a lamentation, a memory, a deconstruction and reconstruction of the author's mother's life through an examination of the complex multilayered textile/text/sound axis. It is about the impossibility/possibility of recording memory, how daughters are tethered to mothers though root language, how mothers are other to daughters, and how we are on a journey to arrive at the other within the self. It is about continuing to arrive at the other still alive even after the mother dies. Distance is not widened to elimination nor condensed to an implosion; it is at a careful proximity where the other voice that is mother is able to continue to speak. a record of how the mother's textile became sound explores how text/textile/sound are vehicles for memories--textile perhaps serving as a bridge between text and sound." -- provided by distributor
