Director's Statement
In December 2017, I flew to my hometown in Arizona for several weeks to say goodbye to my dying grandmother. After her passing, I returned with a bag of her scrap yarn and a deep longing to express what I knew was hiding behind her silent life. I had interviewed her a year before, but the footage was accidentally lost. I decided that I would make a mixed media painting inspired by a blanket I found with her yarn, which turned into a film about a painting about her blanket. The finished painting is shown at the end of the film credits. The result is a hard-to-label hybrid film that documents both her life and the making of the painting.
