It Ends with My Dad is a body of work I started in the fall of 2021. My dad and his side of the family, his mother, aunt and cousin, all work in a family business repairing clocks. This business has been around since before I was born, and has impacted myself and the choices made in my life and also those in my family. The depiction of the connection between my family’s life and time, and how big of a roll time plays in our lives both work as a memory bank for my family but also as a dive into how parents choices can impact their children’s. I am using this project to document our family business and taking it full circle to connect back to my life and why I made the decisions I have so far for my future. The specific choices I make and those in my family who are not apart of the shop make, do effect the future of the business, as after my grandmother, the shop ends with my dad.
