404 is an internet protocol that means the place that houses the info you are seeking online has been located, but your access has been denied. I’m looking at this internet protocol through family, legacy and identity. 404mom is about having an unavailable Mother and the sense of loss that comes with lack of access to family ancestry and history. With quilts I am creating my own legacy, embedding the stories and lessons I’ve gathered in my lifetime for the future. Through making these quilts I am able to see the complexity of the world and dissect the shame and trauma that lingers from my Mother’s immigration story.
