| Aileen Bassis "Mom's Madhouse" During the summer of 2006, I spent a month at a peaceful, remote artist residency in rural Finland and began to create work about my mother's journey into dementia. I did several variations of handmade books and some wall pieces.... The title above is taken from my daily phone calls to my mother, who often told me, "It's a madhouse here." |
