current work | matrInheritance | “the responsibility of maintaining this visual archive was placed with the mother Becoming a mother changes one's practice.
A lack of time for work. A sense of obligation. Fragments of days and memories. Recollection. A grounded basis in local geography that roots my experience in a temporal and geographical sense. A sense of priority and importance in the work. Observations, insights and the small details of everyday life. Motherhood grounds you in a community. Ties you to place and people. Women have always collected things and recycled them because leftovers yield nourishment in new forms” Melissa Meyer and Miriam Schapiro
This is more than a visual experience - it is a sense of belonging. This body of work is not solely concerned with aesthetics, but with the stories and relationships that unfold within the community. These images form a matrilineal thread, much like the stories told over time; mothers (always mothers) delivering and nurturing social stories and information throughout generations. The keepers of HIStory. Just as we use portrait images as a means of constructing a self identity, this work uses an ongoing album of photographs to construct the identity of a community. Communities curate an identity through their environment |
