Excerpt:

“In the last years of her mother’s life, Ishiuchi photographed her mother’s feet, hands, sagging breasts, scared and aged skin crisscrossed with wrinkles – a finely woven tapestry of life. But even more telling are the images captured after her death, when the artist was driven to photograph her mother’s most intimate clothing and personal of possessions – her second skin. We are looking at a memory that has been captured and preserved in the present – the evocative traces of history that still cling to her subject.”
