Valerie Shkymba McAndrews “The Elephant in the Room” mixed media, $250.00

“The Elephant in the Room” is a personal piece about my mother who had Alzheimers disease. We never talked about it with her. The background is a painting I did of my parents living room. I replaced the photos of my children with ones of my mother and her 2 sisters who had other forms of dementia. The elephant is folded from the cover of an Alzhei-mers publication. It is also visually, an elephant in the room! Completed 2017.
