Tess King

Fifty-SixYears With Tony

Portfolio

Her grandfather passed away in June. The loss was sudden and very unexpected. This project explores the interactions shared between Tess and her grandmother since her grandfather’s death. Without her husband, Ruth’s identity has evolved drastically as she is now aware of her need to become more independent. The work illustrates this development from a companionship within a hectic, family dynamic to a more solitary existence as a widow.
