Brother Kenneth Chapman Gallery
In Love Your Mother the artist explores the ties between motherhood and mother nature. It is rooted in a love for the natural world and the artist's identity as a mother. The source material comes from personal experience, nature, world events, and family mythologies. The visuals depict the natural world and often show the anthropomorphism of environments, objects, and materials. All of the work is driven by sound, with found sound (creative commons) edited into dense ambient soundscapes that match the mood, movement, and events in the animations. The sound is intended to conjure emotion and memory.
