This was created 8 years to the day after Dad's funeral. I wanted to begin exploring what absence offers relationships. Pushing this need is a want to interact with others and engage with them. So in an attempt to capture me interacting with the void of a loved one and the absence of them I filmed the process and added some personal and Andrew inspired objects, imagery, and personality.
The important objects I included:
- The Persian rug bought by mum and dad while they travelled through Turkey
- Suitcase that was inspired by dad's travelling for my purchase of it
- Predominantly black outfit for the funeral
- Light blue football socks from the mental health round
- Songs from dads top 11 songs in 2004
- The song dad would play on the piano every night before bed
- Fire, dad trained me to make a fire. I don't make fires his way because it's slow and less fun
