Karen Hoeberg's portrait of her father is relayed through an intimate meditation on a family tradition. With wonderful simplicity, Hoeberg creates gentle rhythms out of her father's recollections, her own voice, the ice, the water, the fishing. A poetics of winter.
My Father And I Went Fishing is a portrait of my father centering on his shared stories and thoughts while he and I share a day of ice-fishing. As a poem from personal experience, this tape relates closely to my installations, in that the narratives of my work are all based in life experience." K.H.
