The time experienced within illness and loss feels as if there has been an erasure of a place once familiar. 33 Marks, is a series of photographs made from 4x5 inch large format film in which I crease, fold, or bend each negative in a purposeful meditation on time. Each mark signifies a section of time during which my mother had cancer before she passed and time since her death, as I continue to experience loss. At one point the time felt endless, coming from the horizon with each new day, the rising in the morning and descending with the moon. The focus one has when illness is present, the attention to love, care and support, feels like an entire life in slow motion. And then it ends. Life ends. The breathing from the one we love stops and all that's left are the marks, the accumulation of time, the wealth of expectation and the overwhelming sense of loss. Each mark on the film is a way to cherish and process the life that has left and a way to learn grief as a material.
