Discard
“Discard” is part of a series (and a project) on caregiving for those with dementia with psychosis. Despite the fact that my mother and I (being a bit alike) had always had a contentious relationship, it was not my brother, but me that was her caregiver. This painting has multiple meanings since my mother loved to play cards, since perhaps she felt a bit discarded by life during the brief time she accepted that something was wrong, and of course, since I felt discarded at times as the caregiver of someone with dementia. This painting is mixed media on deep wood panel with collage elements including fabric.
