Song: Smaller Than My Mother by Overcoats (no copyright intended - just for creative use)

If there’s ever a problem, I film it and it’s no longer a problem. It’s a film.
—Andy Warhol

Remnants, a small remaining quantity of something. This is a work I created inspired by my experience growing up with a mom who has bipolar, my life has been shaped by mental illness in ways I continue to understand. The idea of glitter came in because trauma is sticky, just like sparkles or sand may stay stuck with you long after you've left the party or the beach. Through art, I chose to tell my story in hopes of coming to understanding as well as acceptance. Equally I hope in sharing that others with parents that suffer from mental illness can resonate with my experience.

All the art,

Abbey
