Artist Books > Mom's Lunches

This artist book is inspired by memories of my mother making school lunches for me and my siblings growing up and symbolizes the care and thoughtfulness she took in preparing them. The five pages represent both the five days of the week that she made lunches and also the number of children for whom she made them. Photographs at the bottom of each lunch bag of my mother preparing sandwiches relate to the feeling of anticipation of eating one of her carefully made meals. The handwritten texts are from a collection of notes and post-its that accompanied my lunches on occasion.
