In iMum, Lysaght utilised "low rent" materials of plastic covered cane, most commonly associated with say Blind Foundation weaving workshops. Through weaving in the style of these workshops Lysaght has recreated a now everyday high technology object. Her challenge is to transform these "lowly", found materials into a different and dynamic state. iMum is as much is about the artist's practice of being a "hunter and gatherer" as it is about having fun.

The artist says about the work, "I am a product of the handicrafts era, as was my mother. She never wasted anything. As a child I wore sweaters knitted out of scarps of wool. Two rows of this and four rows of that! These garments were always source of embarrassment to me! In hindsight, I realise those hand knits were made out of love and economic necessity. This Here and Now computer pays tribute to that era."
