about the piece

“Interconnected”
Linoleum print  
11 inches x 14 inches

This piece talks about the four generations of women on my mom’s side of the family. This linoleum cut specifically showing my great grandmother, my grandmother, my mother, and me. Despite never meeting my great grandmother, our stories are intertwined with not only similarities, but caring and love. It is in my life that we have always been and will always be interconnected.
