Observations on the weather for the month of March 2008, delivered by my mother Maureen Jasper.

Armed with a camera and a weather radio, Maureen Jasper gives daily eyewitness accounts of the transformation from winter to spring, direct from her condiminium in Worcester, Massachusetts. For this work, my mother learned to use a Sony PD 170 video camera which was set up in her kitchen, we spoke daily on the phone to discuss the recordings, and I visited every four days or so to change batteries, adjust lights, and switch the tape. While her personal storytelling is at the foundation for the work, it is primarily a portrait of her, our relationship, and a comment on mortality.
