Work Statement: The idea of collective memory stays with us; it is in the bones of us all. As my hands move across the fabric of my mothers apron, there are holes, the fabric is worn. I remember her standing in the kitchen cooking, "working", making sure we were well cared for and fed. My mother always wore an apron. The spoon which I have is well loved, is a reminder of her many meals. I taste her tongue on the spoon. I cook with it, it continues to connect me to my mother, my history, our collective history.
