Creamer

Creamer was a prop for The Sandbox, based on Edward Albee’s play, The Sandbox. Originally, a wedding gift to Mary Parent, who cherished the object until she became ill with dementia and entered a nursing home. Its second life was as a prop in a series of still photographs, in which it served as a symbol of the Grandmother character and was used to scoop sand from the beach onto her corpse. These photos were strung together into a short film. Mary Parent died in July of last year.
