Artist Statement
A collection of memories, documenting the life of the artist’s mother. Recording her career as the first women scientist in 1951 at the University of Delaware’s Graduate College of Marine Science and her notes struggling with memory loss into an Alzheimer\'s haze. Housed in a doll trunk lined with Spartina handmade paper collected from the marsh where she assisted her husband in his research are palm leaf books, maps, photographs, biological ephemera, her research paper describing plankton populations in the Delaware Bay in the 1950’s and her ashes.
