LAURIE BETH ZUCKERMAN'S MOTHER OF SORROWS ALTAR TO BLANCHE ZUCKERMAN

Laurie Beth Zuckerman home ancestor altar to her mother Blanche Kleid Zuckerman began in 2001 just weeks after Blanche's death from ovarian cancer. Today would be my mother's 89th birthday had she survived. A special birthday wish to you, Mom!! Can't express how much I miss you and how much you have inspired depth in my altarmaking over these past ten years.

These altar photos were taken in my home just before this Mother of Sorrows altar was exhibited in my 2009 solo retrospective at the Loveland Museum/Gallery in Northern Colorado.

    It doesn't matter how long ago it has been since our mothers have departed. We miss them just as much as we did back then. Nothing can fill that void. What a beautiful tribute to your mother!

    Your altar in your mom's memory truly stunned me with its variations and its beauty. And speaking of beauty, your mom, Blanche, was a beauty, too. Death does not end a relationship so I wish your mom happy birthday, too.
