When is an idea inappropriate?
Ever been to an orgy where all of a sudden, you catch a glimpse of
someone who should not be there? Did someone bring their Mother tot eh orgy?
For Holy F**k Six, I brought my Mother to an an event that promises to
once again shock, stimulate, titilate, unnerve, and as usual, attract the cops.
I will feature six commissioned portraits of my Mother, who lives with Alzheimer's, by photographers
Sarai Strikefoot,
Michelle Wilson,
Lynne Anderson, Michael Tardioli,
Angelina McCormick &
Tony Fouhse. The purpose of this is to put a face on an illness that is quite often hidden away in shame. In doing so, and being fully aware that my Mother would more than approve, I show you the reality, the beauty and the pain of living with Alzheimer's. I would personally like to thank all photographers who did an amazing job with my Mother, and were able to capture the bond I have with this freakin' amazing woman. They were not only caring and respectful, but their images made me realize that as I struggle with this illness, I have also learned to let go.
Thank you to my friends Sarai, Michelle, Lynne, Michael, Angelina & Tony.
