Further focus on the power of the object to reveal thoughts, memories and personalities this work provided the opportunity to reflect on the mother daughter relationship. While wearing identical pink flip-flops I walked noisily in them while my mother walked silently. A mundane aspect of behaviour reflects inherent similarities and differences between us.

This video work utilised objects as a trigger to access memories, associations and geographical knowledge. Eating Lemons includes three participants eating lemons. One of which was born in a warm climate where citrus trees were abundant while the other two had not. While two ate the lemons by cutting the lemon and eating the sour pieces, the other rolls the lemon to break it's fibres to release the sugars to provide a different expereince.
