More information
"Medicine Mom" is one of Anders Krisár's key works and is part of a long-standing project in which the artist explored his relationship with his mother and her passing:
""Medicine Mom" is a portrait of my mother made of her spare medication. I collected pills for several years before gluing them together to form her face. The work questions her identity and how it was affected by her mental illness and the attempts to mitigate it."
