Artist Statement

“Yes, Mother” is a series of images depicting the psychological traumas and anxieties of growing up. In a sparsely lit gothic mansion filled with rooms of strange apparitions and sinister furnishings, a young child tells an unsettling story of her everyday life. But it is not the house that is haunted, it is something much closer.
