Check the Mail for Her Letter explores memory and loss after my grandmother succumbed to dementia. Two streams of visuals weave in and out of time and space: a collection of modern photographs in the months leading up to, and following, her passing and a series of vintage portraits dating back to her childhood. I use gouache and wax pencil to obscure elements as I consider how to visualize fragmented recollections and decaying memories. For example, even when identities were forgotten, could my grandmother still remember being loved and the tender way my grandfather caressed her arm?

The last time we met, her mind briefly slipped, insisting she had to return to the old farmhouse to check the mail. Could she have possibly known that I would be sitting here today with an unsent letter? –words that would have been my last communication before losing her completely. This letter, never mailed, unraveled a string of events that led me to wonder about the space where reality and delusion intermingle.
