Voodoo Grandma
My original idea for a memento was to create a voodoo doll, but as the concept continued to grow I was inspired by the lasting memory of sewing with my grandmother. She was constantly taking my measurements to make me new clothes and costumes. Being that I was the only granddaughter, this happened often. I was limited to three materials: stuffing, fabric (from my shirt), and evil eye beads (from Grandma's collection).
- The stuffing represents the softness of my grandmother's embrace
- The shirt represents my body and measurements
- The evil eye beads represent protection against evils. This projects negative energy away from the head.
