PRESS

"To date, I Am Your Grandma has gotten almost a million hits. It has been spoofed—mostly by kids. It has spawned micro-communities on Facebook and YouTube. Its title has entered the online Urban Dictionary as a slang term for ‘when something is really weird and terrifying and traumatizing in a way you can't forget.’" Art Papers


"I could tell you it's an artist who is giving a video message to her future unborn grandchild, but that wouldn't do it justice. Throw in some David Lynch and Salvador Dali and you're getting a bit closer to the mark…. [I]t’s definitely a bit ‘out there,’ [but] it’s also strangely hypnotizing. I like art. I like odd. And I think I like Jillian Mayer. " CBS News
