These are my first steps in creating an artist book about caring for a loved one with dementia.  

The cocoons are based on the cecropia moth caterpillars that I found as a child, fed until they spun cocoons and then waited for them to emerge as incredible moths.  I will take photographs of a cocoon in its jar as it accompanies me throughout my daily activities.  Those photographs will be bound in an artist’s book.

The final product will be a visual of the ethos of caring for a loved one who no longer resembles the person as previously known.
