Acheson-Elmassry's iconic exhibition was at Galeri, Caernarfon, Wales.
This Solo Exhibition was about the artist's mother and the experience of her Alzheimer's Disease. In addition to several unique sculptural works, including a suspended cast of the artist's mother's car, the show included sonic artworks and an experimental composition 'mumMAM' made in collaboration with Huw McGregor, and a performance by Wanda Zyborska.
Works included the 'Anger Pantry' a participatory percussive artwork with sonic feedback, a video of a floating piano seaweed and a suspended blue soft cast of a Renault Clio like the one the artist's mother loved to drive.
