Artist Statement
"Everyone Vanishes" is about the flow of time and DNA, from Grandmother to Mother to Daughter. Faces are formed by inheritance, and features are sharpened by time. Then a gradual softening, a transmission of DNA into a new generation with eyes, lips, nose to be again etched by time. The past is in the present, as the present becomes a new past, working into a future in which the daughter vanishes into the undiscovered country.
