Artist Statement

Fo this project my primary concept was based around mother-daughter relationships and the harsh conversations that may occur within these relationships. At the start of this project I wanted to use kitchen sounds and evolve form that but instead of primarily using kitchen sounds I chose to use snippets of common phrases amongst mother-daughter conversations along with the kitchen sounds in the background. I chose to use repetition for these sounds. The associated footage with the sound shoes different mothers and daughters in conversation and how they interact with one another. I chose to use different video footage to show that although the environment and people may change most of the conversation tends to stay the same. The reason for keeping kitchen sounds in the background is to give to the idea that a woman's domain is supposedly the kitchen and this place typically helps form the mother-daughter relationship. The video starts out calm but quickly and abruptly changes. I chose to use the 50's TV filter over the video to give a home video type of feel to seem as though viewers were actually looking the mothers and daughters having a conversation.
