la Reine

Shelagh Atkinson

One from the Red Diaper series. An image of ones mother so highly pertinent... where did I come from? who am I ? Has this been a political act to rename one's mother LaReine? The project was developed over a number of years, searching for ones identity, after the death of my mother.
