Absence And Presence

Synopsis:
absence and Presence begins with the death of Dawson's father in 1985 and the tragic fact that his body lay undiscovered for 10 days. From this trauma, Dawson was inspired to create this unusual autobiographical and impressionistic work, which deals with his sense of loss and guilt, his affection and anger, and the unique, complex, and conflicting emotions behind this father-son relationship.
