I've been thinking about how to go about this idea I am exploring. And I think before I can start layering old documents and meaningful items. I need to think about what are the symbol that defined her life that will take forefront to the layer backgrounds I will create with her left pieces. Combining primary and secondary elements I hope will give the illusion of "peering in" for the viewer. I have this need to make it feel like the past, a captured moment and I'm going to use that idea to create a overall "sense" of the work. Just as a camera allows a place to look into, the primary symbols will create a defined border to peer into.
What are her symbols:
Are they her fundamental beliefs, her image, her children, the history she lived in, the history she made, the places she made marks on, what bordered her life, what connected it all together.

Hey - came upon your blog by accident - I love the idea of your project. Have you asked around extended family for memories before you knew her?
