About The Artwork
Mom: What did you buy? Me: I bought oranges and bread from the grocery store. Mom: Oh that is great! What did you buy today? Me: Oh, I bought oranges and bread mom. Mom: Did you go to the grocery store? Me: Yes, I did. Mom: That's great. What did you get? Me: Oranges and bread mom. My mother has mixed dementia, a combination of vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease, both in their mild stages. When I talk to her, I must remind myself that while she may remember who I am, she has trouble with certain types of memory that can repeat for a few sessions at a time. This can be frustrating, but I must exercise patience and remember that for her, it is the first time that she is hearing it. To gain clarity, I watched a YouTube video by Lisa Genova that discussed how memory works; the brain only remembers when given attention, hence why forgetting keys or groceries (oranges and bread!) is normal.

Canada
Norm Yip (葉灃) was born in Canada in 1963 by Chinese parents. After studying fine art in Saskatchewan and architecture in Toronto, he moved to Hong Kong where began working as an architect. In 1999, he decided to transition into fine art and photography, following his deeper passion into his personal interests. He formed a collective called Melo-Melo Artist Alliance with several friends. It was then that his journey into art began. Oscillating between photography as a main source of income and painting as a hobby, he began to assert more attention and time to the latter. He has exhibited numerously in both solo and group exhibitions in Hong Kong, and most recently in Bangkok, Italy and New York. He currently resides in his birthplace province of Saskatchewan, Canada where he continues to paint and photograph.
