Flying Past
Genevieve McCrea, 1994

The kitchen appliances were a constant and familiar element of my early life
- my mother nurtured the family mostly through her cooking.
When I left home I took many of those appliances with me.

Metaphor and symbol are used to ponder some of the questions my life has posed.
