visiting mom

My mother spent most of her time sitting in her room sucking tea through a straw

At the time when my mothers independence failed her, my daughter Erin's (1) was just developing. These seven images are aspects of an interaction between an old lady nearing the end of her life and a little girl who is only starting out on her's. We are all somewhere between these two points. These images were taken during family visits to the frail care centre where my mother spent the last few months of her life on this earth.
