The Notion of Family, is a collaborative development between her grandmother, mother and herself. Through black and white photographs and an experimental documentary video series, A Mother to Hold, Frazier's honest and relentless approach intensely explores their psychological intergenerational lineage through the 1930s, 1960s and 1980s. |
