Talking about fathers

Yesterday I was happily surprised to find an art program on Dutch television, often seems to me that the rule is NOT to show any art at all.

It was a rather personal portrait of the photographer Sally Mann. She was followed for many months and we were allowed to see some personal moments and many of her complex creation processes. Sally Mann seems very much a New England-like intellectual and with a very easy and clear way of talking about her work. She tells about her frustration of a canceled show, talking about herself feeling a 'passé' artist and the evolution of a theme.
What stroked me the most is as she described the probably 'genetical' fascination she had about the death just as much as her father did. And as she described her relationship with her father it came as a flash the answer to a question I had been having. I knew what I was going to start making the day after: I had been collecting transparent food plastic boxes from the supermarket and other shops with the plan of making some kind of sculpture with them, but I still couldn't come to the right answer on how to use them. But as she referred to her father the idea came into place, I would make an 'hommage' to my father with a Box of boxes. The link was that I also have a 'genetical' fascination on boxes just as my father did.

Well, easier said than done, now I have to work on it.

PS: The photo come on her series about Death and is, I think of one of her children.
