Legacy

"A legacy or legacies, is what someone or something is remembered for or what they have left behind that is remembered, revered or has impacted current events and the present day."

We are now at a time when we are leaving school & are trying to decide what we want to do when we enter in to the big, wide world. Something to consider is what mark we want to leave on this school & on the world during our adult life. When I ponder this, I think about what the legacy was of my Ninny (my great grandmother), what my Nana's would be & what mine will be. When looking at this, you can see clearly the change of the role of women within our family & in society. You can also see the change in values, & the consistency of values within the family. I would like to explore this changing role of women in my body of work.
