Mom & Dad - Together Again represents the artist's parents, Terri & Abe, their endless love story, and the merging of two previous cardboard series to create a third. The first series uses geometric shapes to represent Abe's stabilizing influence on the family and their marriage of 58+ years. The second series utilizes spiraling tendrils to embody Terri's outgoing and vivacious personality.  Abe died seven years before Terri, in 1997 and in 2002, when Terri passed away, they were Together Again.

Nannette is represented by the
winding yellow strip with orange dots.

In this third series, Nannette weaves her Mom's open spirals amidst her Dad's closed geometric shapes and incorporates herself into the piece by tightly winding yellow cardboard strips around linear elements (illustrating a never-ending interaction with her parents).
