YOU BE MOTHER uses stop-frame animation to disrupt the traditional orders of animate and inanimate, the fluid and the solid. A hallucinatory space is set up when a frozen image of the artist's face is projected onto weighty pieces of crockery atop a table. Ears, eyes, nose and mouth, all become spatially dislocated as a determined hand begins to reposition, decant and mix. Events unfold to the amplified sounds of grinding, pouring and stirring.
