The torso of a white man holding a potato in one hand and a knife in the other. A caption at the bottom of the image reads: "A potato that he has cut a huge gouge..."

Made collaboratively with the filmmaker’s mom Deborah, I Can Hear My Mother’s Voice documents her process of learning how to use the filmmaker’s video camera. As Deborah watches the footage she has recorded, she reacts to and describes the footage she sees––showing what and how she sees––while opening up a space between sense, memory, speculation, and grief.

On the image is a caption over a black bar that reads: on the on that on that wood or whatever that is, that metal.
