M(other)land
Starting in 2018, I have begun to photograph known locations where my mother’s ancestors lived. Shrouded in mystery and with elements forgotten, I am piecing back together a family history across continents, oceans, and cultures. Using genealogy research, DNA testing, and limited family lore, my intention is to find either exact locations or close areas where these people existed.
My goal is to photograph all the homes that my mother lived in, starting in Boston, and going off from there. Ultimately, I will go to Ireland, Lithuania, and other parts of Eastern Europe in search of my mother’s land.
