How can I lie that I’m asleep and be faster than my body? - ‘But it wasn’t so violent, was it?’ She stayed in bed repeating that she was sleepy for 40 minutes. ‘I’ve wanted it to be almost like a mantra and to generate tension.’ The embroidery draw maps the relation between a mother and a daughter. Time past and time present if all time is eternally present all time is unredeemable. ‘It was a school exercise, I would use what was close to me, what was domestic, and you were part of it’ Fourteen years have past. I take her images; I compel her to answer me. She is the mother. She is the daughter. She is my mother.
